With their second powerplay to start the second period, Rudolph scored again. This time it was started by Braeden Cootes at centre who could’ve entered the offensive zone down the left side, but decided the better play was to drop it back for Aiden Oiring. That opened a lane through the middle, Oiring gave it to Daxon Rudolph, and he walked in and fired a wrist shot for his second of the game and eighth of the playoffs just 25 seconds into the period.

Then at the 4:15 mark, Connor Howe battled for a puck and again was not credited for an assist because he played it to Daxon Rudolph at the centre of the blueline, and Rudolph quickly moved it left for Justice Christensen. He fired wrist shot that was stopped, but Aiden Oiring cleaned up the rebound for his sixth of the playoffs.

The Raiders run continued at the 6:33 mark when Justice Christensen moved the puck to the right point for Daxon Rudolph, and he skated in down the right side before sending a back door feed across the crease for Maddix McCagherty. He tucked it in for his second of the playoffs.

Just 25 seconds later though, and the Tigers scored to cut into the four goal lead. Off a dump in to the right corner, the puck popped out towards the middle where Ethan Neutens stepped into a onetimer in tight that snuck in.

After 2: Raiders 5 – 2 Tigers, shots 10-9 Tigers, 22-19 Raiders overall

At the 9:07 mark, it was Max Heise’s turn to join the scoring. He started the play by blocking a shot at the blueline, then quickly picked up his own rebound and started skating up the right side on a 2-on-1. Heise fired a wrist shot home for his third of the campaign.

The Tigers got one last goal at the 15:20 mark on another weird one. Cam Parr had his stick broken and discarded in the slot of the Raiders zone, and a shot from the point pinballed off the broken stick, off Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll, and in.

FINAL: Raiders 6 – 3 Tigers, shots 14-7 Raiders, 36-26 Raiders overall

After only scoring one goal on Tigers goaltender Jordan Switzer in two games, the Raiders managed to put four goals past him on 16 shots in Game 4 to chase him out of the net.

The Raiders welcome the Tigers back to Prince Albert on Friday for Game 5.
