Calgary, AB. - Despite leading the playoff scoring race, Brandon Kozun didn’t feel like he was contributing as much as he could against the Brandon Wheat Kings.

That all changed on Friday night as Kozun counted a pair of goals and two assists to lead Calgary to a 6-1 win over the Wheaties to earn the Hitmen a spot in the Western Hockey League final for the second straight post-season.

Calgary goalie Martin Jones made 20 saves to improve his post-season record to 12-6 was chosen as the Eastern Conference final most-valuable player.
