Regina, Saskatchewan - Ryker Evans scored his first career Western Hockey League goal with 2:13 left in overtime as the Pats downed the Red Deer Rebels 3-2 on Friday night.

In the first, the Pats outshot the Rebels 12-7 but neither team would score, and it was 0-0 after 20 minutes. In the second, Red Deer opened the scoring 1:35 in off the stick of Cameron Hausinger. Just over a minute later, the Pats powerplay responded, Ty Kolle with his 12th of the year to tie it 1-1. The Rebels powerplay gave them the lead back halfway through the frame, but again Regina found a tying goal. This time Logan Nijhoff buried his fourth on a pretty feed from Blake Allan to make it 2-2 and that was the score after 40 minutes. In the third, the Rebels threw everything at the Regina goal, outshooting the Pats 17-2 but Max Paddock was sensational, and the game went to overtime tied 2-2. In the extra frame, the Pats went to the powerplay and on it, Ryker Evans ripped home his first career goal from the right circle to give the Pats the extra point in a 3-2 final.

The Pats were outshot 33-27, the powerplay was two for four, the penalty kill four for five and Max Paddock made 31 saves in a second star performance.
