Lethbridge Hurricanes defeat Saskatoon Blades 2-1 [Video]

The Hurricanes continued to ride a hot streak at home Wednesday, as they edged the Blades 2-1 in a game played at VisitLethbridge.com Arena.

After a scoreless first period in which the Hurricanes outshot Saskatoon 14-8, they took a 2-0 lead on goals from Miguel Marques and Chase Petersen.

For Petersen, it was his first WHL goal.
