Hurricanes squander two goal lead in rare loss
CALGARY – In a game that meant much more to the home team than the visitors, the host Hitmen topped the Lethbridge Hurricanes 4-3 in Calgary.
While the Hurricanes have had a playoff spot locked-up for some time now, the Hitmen are desperately fighting for wins, and entered Friday night’s (Mar. 10) contest three points out of the second Wild Card spot in the WHL’s Eastern Conference.
You probably wouldn’t have known that four minutes into the game though.
The Hurricanes raced out to a quick two goal lead, with Giorgio Estephan and Tanner Nagel finding the back of the net while most fans were still getting settled into their seats.
