Keegan Dansereau's hat-trick lifted the Swift Current Broncos to a 4-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers, to open the first round of the WHL playoffs.

    The Broncos trailed 2-1 early in the third, before Taylor Vause tied it, and Dansereau added the game-winner and an empty-netter late in the game, all done in front of a loud home crowd.

    Travis Yonkman got the win in net with 36 saves, Ryan Holfeld countered with 29 stops for the Tigers.

    The Broncos lead the best-of-seven series 1-0, and host game two tonight at the Credit Union iplex. You can hear the game on the Eagle 94.1FM, with the pre-game show at 7:00pm, and the play-by-play at 7:30pm.
