Kamloops 5 Calgary 2

In the Western Hockey League's battle of the last two unbeaten teams in regulation the Kamloops Blazers scored five powerplay goals en route to a 5-2 win over the Calgary Hitmen Sunday evening at Scotiabank Saddledome.

The WHL's top scorer JC Lipon scored twice and set up two others in a four point game. 

Brady Brassart and Cody Sylvester scored for Calgary who also scored both of their goals with the man advantage.

Brooks Macek had an assist in the loss to extend his point scoring streak to nine games, one back of his career high 10 set in the 2009-10 season with the Tri-City Americans.

The Hitmen are now 6-1-1-1 and will open a three game BC Division road trip Tuesday in Prince George.
