TIGERS HOST 'CANES FOR CENTRAL DIVISION BATTLE -- The Medicine Hat Tigers (51-15-2-0) look for their fifth straight win as they host a desperate Lethbridge Hurricanes (31-31-2-3) team for a Central Division showdown on Wednesday, March 7th.

The Tigers - already crowned as the Central Division and Eastern Conference champs - are coming off a 3-2 overtime win in Red Deer on Saturday for their fourth straight victory, and their 21st win in 22 games. The Tigers are a dominant 29-3-2-0 on home ice this season, and have not lost at the Medicine Hat Arena since a 2-1 setback to the Chilliwack Bruins on December 16th.

Should be an interesting matchup, lethbridge fighting for thier playoff lives. Medicine not wanting to lose on a live televised event, and still in the hunt for the scotty munro trophy. I wonder if holfeld gets the start tonight?

Lethbridge will have to come all guns ablazing, this is pretty much do or die time right now. They have shown before they can skate with us. Should be an intense game.
