Carter Yakemchuk, Carson Wetsch and Brandon Gorzynski lifted the Hitmen to a 3-0 lead in the first period.
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.
