Calgary Hitmen 5 - Brandon Wheat Kings 4
The Calgary Hitmen did what they have done all year Sunday afternoon at the Saddledome, and that is win hockey games.
The local boys found themselves in a fight of a game today against Brandon trailing by two goals twice before finally coming out on the right end of a 5-4 victory.
Brandon held a 2-0 lead after one period and a two goal lead in the second before Joel Broda and defenseman Michael Stone tied the game up at three before the second intermission.
After Brandon built a 4-3 lead on a powerplay marker at 8:56, Calgary’s Ian Schultz scored less than a minute later to tie the game and Brett Sonne scored the game winner – just his 2nd goal of the postseason – two minutes and fourteen second later.
Hitmen goaltender Martin Jones postseason numbers are staggering to date, 10-0, 1.09 GAA, .946 save %
