The Hitmen stormed the gates early in Swift Current Wednesday night, but a hot goalie kept them from breaking through as they went down to the Broncos 4-1.
In the first period, the Hitmen came out buzzing, outshooting the Broncos 13-1 but thanks to a heroic performance by Swift Current goaltender Reid Dyck, the period ended in a scoreless tie.
The Hitmen finally got on the board in the second period, getting a goal from Brandon Gorzynski before the Broncos evened it up on a goal by Brady Birnie.
In the third period, Swift Current got the go-ahead goal from Clarke Caswell, on a penalty kill. Late in the period, Luke Mistelbacher and Peyton Kettles scored 32 seconds apart to make it 4-1 for Swift Current.
Calgary outshot the Broncos 31-16.
The loss dropped Calgary’s record to 2-4-0.
The Hitmen have the weekend off, before returning to action Monday afternoon, with a 1 p.m. Thanksgiving matinee against Prince George at the Saddledome.
