The stars came out to shine for the Lethbridge Hurricanes in their Western Hockey League tilt in Moose Jaw Wedneday night.

Justin Hall and Ty Nash also scored for the Hurricanes, while Alex Cotton collected three assists from the blue-line. Calen Addison had a pair of helpers.

Cozens and Okuliar scored power-play goals to stake the Hurricanes to an early lead, Cozens netting his 22nd of the season just 1:40 into the game, and Okuliar scoring his 25th just 54 seconds later.

Okuliar made it 3-0 late in the first period as the Hurricanes outshot the Warriors 21-8 through 20 minutes.

Cade Hayes scored for Moose Jaw 13:19 into the second period, before Hall and Cozens scored goals 26 seconds apart in the final minute of the period.
