RECAP: Hitmen Bounce Back With 6-2 Win over Broncos
Swift Current, SK – The Calgary Hitmen played the fifth game of their six-game East Division road trip tonight in Swift Current, earning their third win of the swing with a 6-2 victory over the Broncos.

Brandon Gorzynski opened the scoring on the power play just over five minutes into the first period, finishing a back-door feed from Kale Dach (3a). Ben MacBeath (1g, 1a) added his fourth of the season, burying his own rebound to give Calgary a 2-0 lead after one.
Rylan Ng and Luc Trevors struck 13 seconds apart early in the second to extend the lead to 4-0. Two minutes later, Landon Amrhein (1g, 1a) converted on a breakaway for his fourth of the year to make it 5-0.
