Czech-mate, Budik does it again and tames Tigers in OT
Vojtech Budik is more known for his defensive prowess, as he has a modest total of 11 career goals in 165 Western Hockey League games—all with the Prince Albert Raiders.
But this week, Budik has transformed from shutdown defenceman to a supreme sniper.
The 19-year-old Czech Republic import scored the overtime winner on Saturday night to beat the Medicine Hat Tigers 3-2 in the extra frame on the road. That’s Budik’s fourth goal in three games this week, after he scored a pair in Friday’s 5-1 win over the Rebels.
What has gotten into Budik lately?! That’s his fourth goal in his last three games. This one is in OT to lift the Raiders over the Tigers 3-2. Raiders have taken all 4 available points so far this road trip, will wrap it up tomorrow in Calgary pic.twitter.com/cxOLykko5N
