Wenatchee pulled one back through Blake Vanek in the second period, before Cooper Moore’s third period power play goal restored the Blazers two goal lead at 3-1 with less than six minutes to play.
The Blazers appeared to be coasting to victory though a late Caelan Joudrey goal made for a few nervous moments at Sandman Centre. Hurlbert eased those fears when he sealed the win with an empty netter with less than 90 seconds left on the clock.
Kufterins was named the game’s second star as he picked up his fourth career WHL win in 10 games. Wenatchee’s Tobias [Tvrznik](https://chl.ca/whl-blazers/players/30226) allowed three goals on 30 shots in a losing effort.
The Blazers improve to 11-10-2-2 which has them in fifth place in the WHL’s Western Conference. Wenatchee drops to 6-12-1-1 and they sit in last place in the overall standings.
The Blazers continue their five game home stand with a pair of games next weekend – against the Spokane Chiefs on Friday, Nov. 28 and the Penticton Vees for the very first time the following night.
