Calgary 6 Prince Albert 5 Shootout

Brooks Macek had a goal and two assists plus the shootout winner as the Calgary Hitmen beat the Prince Albert Raiders for the first time in three tries Friday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.

The win clinched a playoff birth for the Hitmen for the second straight season and 15th time in the 18 year history of the franchise.

The Hitmen saw leads of 2-0 and 3-1 slip away but with the Raiders leading 5-4 Macek forced overtime with 2:21 remaining in the third period.

Brady Brassart, Jesse Zgraggen, Pavlo Padakin and Colten Mayor also scored for Calgary who has now won eight straight at Scotiabank Saddledome to improve to 19-8-1-2 on home ice this season.

The Hitmen are back in action tonight in Cranbrook against the Kootenay Ice winners of 11 straight on home ice.
