Brandon overcomes 4 0 first period hole, storms back to beat Lethbridge 6 5

Mark Derlago and Cody Burki joined forces Monday to lead the Brandon Wheat Kings to a stunning third-period comeback.

Derlago and Burki each scored twice as the Wheat Kings stormed back from four goals down to upend the Lethbridge Hurricanes 6-5 in a wild Western Hockey League matinee.

Burki's second goal with just under six minutes left in the third period stood as the game winner for Brandon (4-4-0-0), which earned its first road victory of the season. Derlago followed with his second of the game 44 seconds later to cap a five-goal third period for the Wheat Kings.

Andrew Clark had a goal and three assists while Juraj Simek added a single for Brandon.

In other WHL action Monday, it was: Vancouver 5, Chilliwack 4; Kamloops 5, Swift Current 2; and Regina 2, Prince Albert 0.

At Lethbridge, Alta., Mitch Fadden and Ben Wright had a goal and an assist apiece as Lethbridge (4-3-1-1) broke out to a 4-0 lead _ on the strength of three power-play goals _ just 7:55 into the game. The Hurricanes finished with 21 first-period shots, but managed just 13 the rest of the way as they dropped their second straight.

Jesse Craige, Yashar Farmanara and Tomas Kudelka added singles for Lethbridge.
