Americans 4 Hitmen 1

Winnipeg Jets prospect Eric Comrie made 39 saves at the Tri-City Americans beat the Calgary Hitmen in their lone meeting of the season.

The game was scoreless headed to the third period before the Hitmen struck first when Greg Chase counted his 28th goal of the season.

But it was all Americans after that scoring four unanswered goals, including one into an empty net, en route to victory.

The loss drops the Hitmen record to 0-3-1-0 in their last four games.
