The Lethbridge Hurricanes had a roller coaster ride of a game against the Calgary Hitmen, before wining 5-4 in overtime Tuesday night. After a first period that left the teams deadlocked at one goal apiece on goals from Easton Daneault (Canes) and Artem Katsuro (Hitmen), Lethbridge erupted in the middle frame for three goals to jump out to a 4-1 lead. Kyle Heger scored at 6:41, Oliver Sichtar at 12:15 and Dane Beuker at 17:30 propelled Lethbridge to a commanding 4-1 lead entering the third period. However, the Hitmen fought back, getting goals from Brennan Brown at 2:59, Wyatt Pisarczyk at 4:24 and Landon Amrhein at 6:20 to tie the score at four apiece. That was it until overtime, when Beuker got his second of the night, at 4:42, to give Lethbridge the win. Lethbridge outshot Calgary 34-27. Next up for Lethbridge is a Friday night home game against the Red Deer Rebels. Next up for the Hitmen is a Friday night road trip to Medicine Hat to take on the Tigers. Puck drop for both is scheduled for 7 p.m.
