Kamloops, B.C. - The Regina Pats battled back from a two-goal deficit to take the lead in the third period, but the Kamloops Blazers stormed back late and prevailed 4-3 in overtime on Sunday night at the Brandt Centre.

Kamloops opened the scoring midway through the first period, as Nathan Behm blasted a shot from the left circle past Kelton Pyne at 12:22 to give the Blazers a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Early in the second period, the Blazers doubled their advantage when Tommy Lafreniere fired home a shot just as a five-on-three power play expired. The Pats responded quickly, however, as Julien Maze worked his way through the slot and lifted a backhander over Logan Edmonstone just 90 seconds later to cut the deficit to 2-1 heading into the third.

Regina carried the momentum into the final frame, tying the game at 4:54 when Zachary Lansard forced a turnover and beat Edmonstone over the shoulder. The Pats then grabbed their first lead of the night at 10:39, with Caden Brown burying a loose puck in front to make it 3-2.

Kamloops refused to go away, as Jordan Keller evened the score at 18:21, converting a cross-ice feed from Behm to force overtime.

In the extra frame, Lafreniere struck again, walking down the middle and ripping home the game-winner at 2:12 to lift the Blazers to victory.

Final shots were 36-32 in favour of the Pats. The Pats went 0-for-3 on the power play, while the Blazers finished 1-for-5. Kelton Pyne made 28 saves in the loss, while Logan Edmonstone turned aside 33 shots to earn the win for Kamloops as they broke a four game skid.
