It was a busy first period, though not for a bounty of goals.

The teams combined for 33 penalty minutes, which included the Tigers’ Bryce Pickford picking up a major for kneeing, a major for fighting (against the Rebels’ Jeramiah Roberts) and a game misconduct all on the same play.

It was scoreless after 20 minutes.

The scoring finally got going right at the midway mark of the game, 10 minutes through the second, when Andrew Basha (2nd) beat Chase Wutzke for the 1-0 lead.

Through 40 minutes, Med Hat led 1-0.

In the third, the Tigers extended their lead when Matt Paranych (2nd) scored at 12:25.

Markus Ruck (2nd) then iced it away with an empty netter at 18:11.

Final score: 3-0 Medicine Hat.

Tigers netminder Harrison Meneghin earned the 24-save shutout.
