The Lethbridge Hurricanes are hoping to get back into winning ways when game four of their second-round WHL playoff series against Calgary starts on Wednesday, April 16.

The Canes fell 5-3 to the Hitmen Tuesday night, their first loss of the series.

After a first period where neither team made it onto the scoreboard, Calgary hit the net twice in the second period while Trae Johnson scored for the Hurricanes, thanks to an assist from Kas Andresen.

It was all action in the third period as a total of five goals were scored.

That includes points by Shane Smith (assists from Logan McMutcheon and Kai Anderson) and Caden Price (assists from Andresen and Smith) for Lethbridge.
