McPherson opened the scoring for High River on an early power play, but Logan Robinson responded for Medicine Hat less than two minutes later to leave the teams even at the first intermission.
Tristan Stensrud pushed Medicine Hat out in front midway through the second period. The Cubs were poised to tack on when they were given a late power play a few minutes later, but Joshua Fleck took away the momentum with a shorthanded tally then Myles Leckie and Jefferies put the game away with back-to-back markers in the third.
Flyers goaltender Max Johnston weathered a storm with 49 saves to lock up the win and push High River to 11-19-4 on the season.
