MEDICINE HAT, Alberta — Jake Christiansen scored his second and third goals of the season in just his second game back, Dustin Wolf stopped all 34 shots he faced and the Everett Silvertips rolled to a 5-0 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers on Saturday at Canalta Centre.

Bryce Kindopp potted his 18th goal of the season, Ronan Seeley scored his third and Cole Fonstad had a goal and two assists to lead Everett’s offense.

The Silvertips (20-6-1-0) improved to 3-0 on their swing through the Eastern Conference and earned their fifth win in their past six games.

Christiansen played in just his second game of the season after he was released from his professional tryout with the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat and returned to Everett on Thursday.

The shutout was Wolf’s fifth of the season, most in the Western Hockey League.

Garin Bjorklund stopped 36 of 41 shots for Medicine Hat (20-8-1-0).
