The Medicine Hat Tigers are still looking for their first win in overtime.

The Tigers came back late but lost 4-3 Friday night in overtime against the Saskatoon Blades.

The loss still gives Medicine Hat points in their last four games, as they entered Friday coming off a 6-1 drumming of the Brandon Wheat Kings at Co-op Place on Wednesday.

The Tigers opened the scoring in the second periodagainst the Blades with a top shelf goal from Andrew Basha. Brendan Lee and Cayden Lindstrom had the assists on Basha’s sixth of the season.

Saskatoon tied it up 41 seconds later with a goal from Vaughan Watterodt and then took the lead a little over three minutes after that on Misha Wolotovskii’s goal.

With less than three minutes left in the period, Brayden Boehm tied the game up at 2-2 with his 11th.

Brandon Lisowsky put the Blades ahead early in the third but Lee, the former Blade, tied it up minutes later. Saskatoon didn’t wait long in overtime, with Egor Sidorov scoring the OT winner at the 1:11 mark.

Beckett Langkow had 21 saves in the OT loss.

The Tigers (6-9-4-1) are back in action Saturday when they head to Prince Albert to take on the Raiders.
