Calgary scored three times in the first, and three times in the third as the Hitmen defeated the Lethbridge Hurricanes 6-1 Saturday at the Saddledome.

Lethbridge crawled back into it in the second, getting a goal late in the period from Brayden Edwards.

Calgary outshot Lethbridge 39-21.

The Hitmen improved to 4-4-1-0.

Lethbridge sits at 6-2-1-0.

Next up for the Hitmen is a Wednesday night contest in Medicine Hat against the Tigers. Next up for the Hurricanes is a Friday night clash in Swift Current against the Broncos.
