It was mission accomplished for the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Head coach Shaun Clouston wanted his troops to stay out of the penalty box, and his players came through and then some.
On Friday in Moose Jaw, the Tigers were crushed by the host Warriors 6-0. The Warriors built their lead going 5-for-8 on the power play.
Clouston wanted his team to cut the power-play chances they gave the Warriors in half, when the two clubs met Saturday at The Arena. The Tigers went the extra distance giving up a single power-play opportunity, which they killed.
The hosts them went on to bomb the Warriors 6-0 before a sellout crowd of 4,006 spectators, which were pretty raucous by game's end.
"We just have to be that way," said Clouston. "We are at our best, when we are real disciplined, when we move our feet and we don't cheat and reach in and give the refs an opportunity to call something."
The Tigers stormed out of the gate on Saturday. Left-winger Boston Leier netted the first goal off a gritty chance from in front of the Moose Jaw net at the 7:44 mark of the opening frame. At that point, the Tigers were outshooting the Warriors 8-2.
The hosts went ahead 2-0 on a great individual effort by winger Chad Labelle. The 16-year-old midget AAA call up from the Calgary Northstars stole the puck in the Moose Jaw zone and put a deke on Warriors goaltender Luke Siemens to score his first career WHL goal.
Besides killing penalties, Clouston said his club was better in a number of other areas.
"In general, I think we just moved our feet better," said Clouston, whose squad improved to 36-20-2-2. "I think we got more pucks in deep, less turnovers in the neutral zone, and we were quick.
"We kept our shifts short. The guys buzzed and chased after loose pucks. If we had some contact, our second guy was in real quick.
"Then, I thought we raced back to the other end of the rink. I thought our speed and our quickness was real good today."
Inside of the final minute of the first, the Warriors had a huge chance breaking in on a three-on-one rush. First, Moose Jaw centre Sam Fioretti was turned away on the first shot from the front of the Medicine Hat net by Tigers goaltender Kenny Cameron. Cameron then turned away overage forward Cam Braes on a rebound.
Early in the second while playing short-handed, the Tigers had a two-on-one scoring chance. Standout forward Emerson Etem tried to snipe home a goal after receiving a pass on the right wing, but he was turned away by Warriors goaltender Luke Siemens.
Jayden Hart put the Tigers up 3-0 after receiving a puck that took a strange bounce in front of the Warriors' goal and came to him at the right slot. He fired a puck into an open net.
At the 1:41 mark of the third, the Tigers extended their edge to 4-0 as import defenceman Patrik Parkkonen fired home his fourth of the season.
Captain Cole Grbavac and Leier netted his second of the contest to round out the scoring for the hosts.
"We were not very good," said Warriors head coach Mike Stothers, whose team fell to 37-16-5-1. "We got what we deserved.
"We didn't work. We didn't compete. We didn't battle. We didn't show up to play.
"We, I guess, figured it was going to be an easy night, because we won the night before at home. They were going to be pushing back. They got what they deserved, and we got what we deserved."
Siemens, who earned the shutout in goal for the Warriors on Friday, was pulled after giving up his team's fifth goal on Saturday. He stopped 21 of 26 shots fired his way. Spencer Tremblay turned away six of seven shots in relief.
Cameron had a memorable night making 36 saves to earn his first career WHL shutout, and he also ended a personal six-game skid. Having started his third game in a row, the rookie looked like a veteran in goal.
"It was good to get a couple of starts in and get a good rhythm," said Cameron. "I felt good in there.
"I really like it, when I get some easy shots (early). I just make a solid, simple save and then it gets me going for the game.
"The whole team was planning on rebounding. We didn't have our greatest game (on Friday). We came in and gave it all we had and took it to them."
