Calgary Hitmen News Release
Calgary, AB - Newly acquired James Malm scored with 1:18 remaining to snap a 5-5 tie lifting the Calgary Hitmen past the Medicine Hat Tigers 7-5 on Friday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
Malm, who joined the Hitmen in a Wednesday trade from the Vancouver Giants, also added an assist in his debut.
Mark Kastelic (2g, 1a) and Jake Kryski (1g, 2a) powered the Hitmen attack with three points each while Vladislav Yeryomenko, Tye Carriere, and Egor Zamula rounded out the scoring. For Carriere, it was his first career Western Hockey League goal. Riley Stotts added a pair of assists on a night that saw 10 different Hitmen collect at least a point.
