Calgary, AB - Goaltender Brayden Peters made 39 saves, including 17 in the third period, to lead the Calgary Hitmen past the East Division leading Prince Albert Raiders 2-1 on Friday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Hitmen did all their scoring in the opening frame on markers from Josh Prokop and Riley Fiddler-Schultz and have now won six of their last seven games.
