Calgary 5 Prince George 3

The Calgary Hitmen got goals from five different players en-route to a 5-3 win over the Prince George Cougars Friday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.

Jesse Zgraggen, Alex Roach, Greg Chase, Victor Rask and Zane Jones all found the back of the net for Calgary who overcame a 2-1 first period deficit.

Rookie Jake Virtanen had a pair of assists while Jones led all Hitmen with a plus three. 

There was a scary moment for the Hitmen in the second period when defenceman Alex Roach had a puck from a Cougar shot ride up a stick and catch him in the neck.  Roach laid on the ice for several minutes before being taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.
