The Calgary Hitmen beat the Spokane Chiefs 7-2

The Hitmen went from road weary to road warriors Friday night in a 7-2 win over the Spokane Chiefs.

It was Calgary’s fifth game in eight nights on the road, but that didn’t seem to bother the Hitmen.

Connor Hvidston scored twice, including opening the scoring 47 seconds into the first and setting the tone for the night.

Carter Yakemchuk, Brandon Gorzynski, Ben Kindel, Oliver Tulk and Sawyer Mayes added singles for the Hitmen, with help from Maxim Muranov and Ethan Moore, who each had a pair of assists.

Chase Harrington and Owen Martin scored for the Chiefs.

Calgary defeated Spokane 30-22, Eric Tu earned the win for the Hitmen.

Next up for the Hitmen is a Saturday night contest in Wenatchee against the Wild. The team returns home to the Saddledome next Friday to take on the Victoria Royals. Puck drop for that one is 7 p.m
