The Lethbridge Hurricanes return home tonight looking to get back into the win column.

The Hurricanes host the Red Deer Rebels during Western Hockey League play tonight at 7 p.m. at the Enmax Centre.

The Hurricanes return home after going 1-3 during a swing through Saskatchew­an and Manitoba, coming off a 6-2 loss to the Moose Jaw Warriors Wednesday night and a 6-0 blanking at the hands of the Brandon Wheat Kings Tuesday.

Both teams are 6-4 in their last 10 games.

Hurricanes captain Jordy Bellerive is six goals away from the 50-goal mark, while during last week’s road trip, Taylor Ross became the fourth Canes player to top the 20-goal mark. He scored in the loss to Moose Jaw and now has 21 on the season.

Lethbridge rookie Dylan Cozens scored shorthande­d in Moose Jaw and sits one goal ahead of Ross at 22.

Red Deer is led offensivel­y by Mason McCarty, who has 35 goals and 66 points in 65 games.

The Hurricanes are also home Saturday night when they host the Regina Pats at 7 p.m.

Saturday’s game is the Canes second-last home game of the regular season.

The Hurricanes entertain the Tigers March 16 in their last home date of the season.
