Ben Kindel led the way with five points as the Calgary Hitmen toppled the Warriors 6-4 Wednesday night in Moose Jaw.

Kindel chalked up two goals and added three assists to help Calgary build a three goal lead on the road. He was helped by Kalem Parker, making his first trip back to Moose Jaw since being traded to the Hitmen in November, who chipped in with a goal and an assist.

Brandon Gorzynski, Sawyer Mynio and Tanner Howe added goals for the Hitmen.

Owen Berge, Krzysztof Macias, Pavel Mckenzie and Eric Johnston replied for the Warriors.

The win moved the Hitmen to within one point of first place in the Eastern Conference. They trail the Medicine Hat Tigers but have two games in hand.

The Hitmen outshot the Warriors 45-20.

Next up for Calgary is a Saturday night game against the Hurricanes in Lethbridge, followed on Sunday by a game against the Red Deer Rebels.

Puck drop for Sunday’s game at the Saddledome is 6 p.m.
