Russian import Vladislav Yeromenko picked up two goals and an assist to lead the Hitmen. Matt Dorsey and Dawson Martin, the older brother of Cougars defenceman Max, notched the other Calgary goals.
Nick McBride and 15-year-old rookie Taylor Gauthier combined to make 38 saves as the Cougars were outshot 42-25. Cody Porter and Dumba handled the netminding duties for Calgary.
