The Saskatchewan hosts, who outshot the visitors 29-21, trailed 3-1 heading into the final period. Both teams had power-play goals.
The Hurricanes and Blades are back in action Wednesday as the Blades travel to Moose Jaw to face the Warriors (2-2), while the Hurricanes head to Prince Albert to face the Raiders (1-3-1).
POKE CHECKS: The Victoria Royals acquired forward Jake Poole from the Kelowna Rockets earlier today in exchange for an eighth-round pick in the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft.
