RECAP: Hitmen Fall to Tigers in Overtime
Calgary, AB – The Calgary Hitmen earned a point for the second straight night in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers on Sunday.
After a scoreless first period, the game’s opening goal didn’t come until the middle frame. Rylan Ng broke the deadlock with a highlight-reel finish off a stretch pass from Caine Wilke. The Tigers responded late in the period, with Yaroslav Bryzgalov tying the game heading into the final frame.

Medicine Hat took their first lead of the night just before the midway mark of the third period on a goal from Noah Davidson, making it 2-1. With five minutes left in regulation, Harrison Lodewyk capitalized on the power play to even the score and force overtime. The veteran forward appeared in this 250th career game tonight.
In the extra frame, a delayed penalty call against Calgary gave the Tigers the extra attacker. Markus Ruck would capitalize netting the winner at 3:42 to secure the 3-2 final for Medicine Hat.
Calgary has a pair of games this coming week starting on Thursday, Nov. 27 when the Moose Jaw Warriors come to the Scotiabank Saddledome for a 7:00 p.m. start. The Hitmen will then welcome their rivals from Central Alberta on Sunday, Nov. 30 when the Red Deer Rebels pop in for a 2:00 p.m. puck drop in another Sunday Funday presented by Brookfield Residential.
