Calgary Hitmen News Release
Calgary, AB - The Calgary Hitmen have now won ten straight on home ice and are tied for first in the Eastern Conference after collecting two points against the visiting Saskatoon Blades.

Oliver Tulk had another standout performance, extending his point streak to 19 games with his three-point night. Tulk opened the scoring just under three minutes into the first. Ben Kindel's primary assist on the goal, extended his recording breaking point streak to 22 games. Carson Wetsch notched his 17th of the year to make it 2-0 heading into the second. Brandon Gorzynski scored the lone goal of the second period off a pass from Kalem Parker.
Saskatoon would get on the board in the third courtesy of Hayden Harsanyi to put the visitors within two. A high-sticking double minor from Tanner Scott put the game in Calgary's hands, with Oliver Tulk capitalizing for his second of the game to seal the deal. Sawyer Mynio recorded the primary assist for his first point as a Hitmen in his debut with the club. Tanner Howe's secondary assist on the play helped him reach the milestone of 250 career points.
