WHL:
Medicine Hat Tigers @ Spokane Chiefs
The Tigers lead the best-of-7 Championship Series 3-1.
Medicine Hat defenceman Tanner Molendyk, who is from McBride, had three assists in Game 4 and that gives him 6 points in 4 games in this series.
Chetwynd’s Cayden Lindstrom, also for MH, looks to return to the lineup after missing Game 4 due to a charley horse.
Spokane forward Chase Herrington of Prince George does not have a point yet for the Chiefs in the series.
It’s official. The Ed Chynoweth Cup will be in the building on Friday evening.
Spurred on by a multi-goal performance by #NHLDraft-eligible defenceman Bryce Pickford, the @tigershockey find themselves one win away from the 2025 #WHLChampionship.
