Regina Pats News Release


The Week That Was

The Pats hit the road early in the week as they visited the Medicine Hat Tigers. The Blue and White found themselves on the defensive for much of the first forty minutes, but came out with a 1-1 tie. The third period saw the Pats jump out to a 3-1 lead before the Tigers clawed back into a 3-3 draw. Braden Christoffer regained the lead for the Pats, but the Tigers struck back with seconds left in the game before eventually winning 4-3 in the shootout. The Pats returned to home ice for a key matchup with the Broncos, but didn't have much jump in a 5-0 loss to Swift Current. The Blue and White were supposed to take on the Prince Albert Raiders Saturday, but were forced to turn back due to poor weather and road conditions. The long weekend wrapped up with the Pats hosting the Brandon Wheat Kings in a Family Day matinee. The Wheat Kings scored twice late in the second to build a 4-2 lead before Sam Steel drew the game back within one. The Pats couldn't muster a tying goal and would fall 5-3 to Brandon.
