The Lethbridge Hurricanes took seven of possible eight points from their four-game road trip after a 5-1 win over the Regina Pats on Saturday night.

Leo Braillard then took a pass from Shane Smith and his quick shot found the back of the net  4:45 into the second period to give the Canes a 2-0 lead.

Brayden Yager also assisted on Braillard’s 24th goal of the year.

Braxton Whitehead backhanded in his eighth goal of the year from Jace Egland and Julien Maze 15:07 into the second period to cut the Canes lead to 2-1.

Tristen Doyle restored the Canes two-goal lead on the powerplay 4:47 into the third period from McCutcheon and Smith.

Brayden Edwards’ wrist shot in the slot on the powerplay found the back of the net just under a minute later to give Lethbridge a 4-1 lead.

Yager and Logan Wormald assisted on Edwards 27th goal of the year.

Noah Chadwick’s high slot shot found its way to the top corner 11:43 into the third period to give the Canes a 5-1 lead.
