Moose Jaw, SK - In a back-and-forth contest, the Regina Pats emerged victorious, defeating the Moose Jaw Warriors 6-3 at Temple Gardens Centre on Saturday afternoon. The win was backed by a balanced offensive effort and successful power-play that went 3-for-4.

Despite being outshot 14-8 in the first period, the Pats opened the scoring in Moose Jaw striking twice in the first period - both off the stick of Caden Brown. At 12:42, Ruslan Karimov's work below the Warriors' goal line set up Ellis Mieyette, who fed Brown at the point. Brown's initial shot was stopped, but he followed up on his own rebound to score the game's first goal. Just over three minutes later, Reese Hamilton took a pass at the blue line and slid the puck to captain Ephram McNutt. McNutt put the puck toward the net. Brown, again, was there to clean up the rebound, jamming home a loose puck past Chase Wutzke on the man advantage at 15:53 to give Regina a 2-0 lead.

Moose Jaw would answer early in the second to pull within one. At 1:30 of the middle frame, Lynden Lakovic swung a puck around the Pats' net for Landen McFadden to stop on the wall. McFadden would find Schmidt with room, and he'd put a shot past Marek Schlenker. With their lead cut in half, the Pats would push back. Obtaining offensive zone time, Aiden Wagner moved the puck to Brown, who drove the net and left it for Mathis Paull to secure his second of the season at 9:08 to put Regina back up by two. In the latter half of the period, Moose Jaw would capitalize on two power-play opportunities. Just eight seconds into their third man advantage of the night, Aiden Ziprick played the puck to McFadden, who took a shot on net. The puck would bounce onto the stick of Pavel McKenzie, and he tapped it into the open net at 14:40. Not long after, Riley Thorpe capitalized on another power-play, six seconds into the advantage, ripping a shot off the faceoff to even the score 3-3 at 17:43.

In the third, the Pats would get to work quickly on the power-play, scoring 0:35 into the frame. Zach Lansard got the puck to Mieyette, who put it towards the goal. Waiting in front, Zach Moore managed to squeak the puck past Wutzke to give Regina a 4-3 lead. At 15:58, the Pats would score again on the man advantage - their third of the game and sixth in two games. Off the offensive zone draw, Brown threw the puck on net where it ricocheted off Cohen Klassen and into the net to make it 5-3 in favour of Regina. Then, with the Moose Jaw net empty, Brown scored from his own zone to help clinch a 6-3 win on the road.

With the victory on Saturday, Regina improved to 7-9-1-1.

Pats' Schlenker picked up his fifth win of the year, stopping a career-best 36 of 39 shots and Warriors' Wutzke made 35 saves on 40 shots, with the final shots on goal being 41-39 in favour of Regina - also a season-high shot total for the Pats. On special teams, the Pats were successful on the power-play, going 3/4 on the night, while the Warriors scored two of their own on the man advantage (2/4).

The Blue Brigade had 10 different skaters record points against Moose Jaw. Notably, Brown secured his second hat-trick of the season and his third three-plus point night of the season with a career-high five points. Mieyette extended his point streak to a team-high seven games (2G, 5A), while Lansard pushed his to five games (3G, 5A).

The next meeting between these two teams is on November 15 at the Brandt Centre.
