Medicine Hat used one of their games-in-hand tonight and dumped the PG Cougars 5-2, giving the Gas City gang 74 points, one clear of Kootenay who dumped the Pats on home-ice last night after a 40 minute effort, 7-4.
Matt Coxford has the recap here while the highlites are here.
The Tigers still have another game in hand to deal as the race for second in the conference and first in the division really logjams up. Those lost points against Brandon and Calgary are coming into play with 17 games left coming down the stretch.
Five of Kootenay's top prospects are at the Canada Winter Games starting Saturday in Halifax. F Sam Reinhart is with Team BC while F Luke Philp and F Jaedon Descheneau are with Team Alberta. D Tanner Faith (Saskatchewan) and D Jonothan Martin (Manitoba) round out the list.
Those first three names are Kootenay's fourth line in 2011-12 and maybe their first line in 2013, or earlier.
