Ty Kolle scored at 8:44 of the first and the teams went into the intermission tied 2-2.
Medicine Hat got goals from Elijah Brown, Eric Van Impe and Caleb Willms in the second to lead 5-2 after 40 minutes. Sillinger scored his second goal of the game in the third to complete the scoring.
Garin Bjorklund made 22 saves in the Tigers’ net. Regina goalie Max Paddock stopped 40 shots.
