Game Preview: Round 2, Game Four vs Medicine Hat
SETTING IT UP:
The Prince Albert Raiders have their backs against the wall for the fourth time this postseason, as they look to avoid elimination against the Medicine Hat Tigers. Medicine Hat took a 3-0 series lead last night after a 6-1 win at the Art Hauser Centre. The Raiders faced elimination in the first round three times after going down in their series against Edmonton 3-1, where they came back to win in seven games.
AIDEN OIRING’S STREAK:
After not recording a point in Game One of the first round, Aiden Oiring has recorded at least a point in every game since then. In his nine game stretch, the 19-year-old has 14 points (6G-8A). He has the longest active point streak in the WHL Playoffs as a result.
WHO TO WATCH:
Lukas Dragicevic is tied with Aiden Oiring for first in Raider scoring in the postseason with six goals and eight assists. He scored the lone Prince Albert goal last night, and has 10 points in his last six games.
