RECAP: Hitmen Close out Road Trip with 4-1 Victory over Blades
Saskatoon, SK – The Calgary Hitmen capped off six games in nine nights on their tour of the WHL’s East Division Saturday night in Saskatoon. Kale Dach recorded the first natural hat trick of his career, powering Calgary to a 4-1 win over the Blades.
Harrison Lodewyk opened the scoring with a breakaway finish for his fourth of the season, followed by Dach converting a breakaway of his own to make it 2-0 after one. Dach added the lone goal of the second period, burying a below-the-goal-line feed from Ethan Moore. He completed the hat trick on the power play in the third period to extend the lead to 4-0.
