Calgary 4 Edmonton 3

Jimmy Bubnick scored two goals in a first star performance as the Calgary Hitmen edged the Eastern Conference leading Edmonton Oil Kings 4-3 Sunday afternoon at Scotiabank Saddledome.

The win extended Calgary's season high winning streak to seven games.

Cody Sylvester (1g, 2a), who broke a 3-3 third period tie scoring the game winner with 8:33 remaining, led the Hitmen with three points while Calder Brooks also scored in the win. 

Spencer Humphries chipped in a pair of assists in his first game back off injury.

Trevor Cheek, Alex Gogolev and Jaynen Rissling, who has points in his last four consecutive games, each picked up one helper for Calgary.
