1/20 Recap: Four point night for Ennis

In Tuesday WHL play, Tyler Ennis scored his 19th and 20th goals of the year to go along with a pair of assists to guide Medicine Hat to a 6-5 shootout win over Chilliwack. Ennis also added a goal in the shootout to earn the game's #1 star. The four-point effort puts Ennis back as the Tigers leading scorer with 44 points in 37 games. Paul Byron scored the only shootout goal as the Gatineau overcame a three-goal deficit to defeat Rouyn-Noranda, 4-3. The Ottawa native is currently fourth in Q scoring with 64 points in 46 games. Now 19-4-1-1 after a 13-game losing streak, Gatineau (24-20-2-2) slides into a first-place tie with the Huskies in the Western Division with the win. Both clubs are two points up on Montreal (T.J. Brennan, Luke Adam), who has four games in hand on both teams.
