The Calgary Hitmen headed into the past week short a few bodies. But playing a pair of games against a division opponent, the Lethbridge Hurricanes, they managed a split as they head into the holiday break.
The week that was
On Saturday night in Lethbridge, the Hitmen and Hurricanes played a tight-checking 40 minutes of hockey. Then Lethbridge pulled away in the third period, ending with a 3-0 win for the Canes. Lethbridge goalie Carl Tetachuk made 31 saves for the win, while rookie Brayden Peters made 26 stops in the loss.
Back in Calgary on Sunday, the Hitmen were much sharper at burying their offensive chances.
