Hutchison Sensational, Fawcett Scores Late In Home Victory Over Moose Jaw

Regina, Sask. - The Regina Pats clawed out a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday night, earning their third straight win over their provincial rivals.

The Pats continued their climb in the Eastern Conference standings, now sitting one point back of Moose Jaw for sixth. Despite trailing after 40 minutes, the Pats controlled much of the final frame, backed by a sharp outing from goaltender Matthew Hutchison and timely scoring late in regulation.

Moose Jaw opened the scoring at 6:59 of the first when Lynden Lakovic forced a turnover along the right boards and fed Landen McFadden at the near post for his eighth of the season. The Warriors carried a 1-0 lead into the second, but Hutchison held the Pats within striking distance, turning aside all seven shots he faced in the middle frame.

Regina's push finally broke through early in the third. At 6:38, Ephram McNutt's point shot produced a rebound that Cohen Klassen buried to tie the game 1-1. The Pats continued to pressure, outshooting Moose Jaw 17-12 in the period, and were rewarded in the dying minute. With the clock winding down, Zachary Lansard tossed a sharp-angle puck toward the net that slipped behind Warriors goaltender Kyle Jones. Keets Fawcett alertly crashed the crease and tapped in the loose puck with 36 seconds left, securing his 14th of the season and the game-winner.

Hutchison finished with 31 saves on 32 shots to earn First Star honours, while Jones was exceptional at the other end with 35 stops. Fawcett rounded out the three stars with the decisive goal.
