The Week that passed:
Tuesday, November 23rd Kamloops Blazers 4 Regina Pats 3 OT
For the third straight time on this BC road trip, the Pats let a one goal third period lead slip away and had to go to overtime last night in Kamloops.

Carter Ashton, Chandler Stephenson, and Myles Bell scored in the loss while Damien Ketlo was fantastic again stopping 38 of 42 Blazer shots in the loss

Adam Brown was the difference for the Rockets with a 32 save performance as the Pats out chanced the Rockets on the night. Brandon Davidson scored the lone goal for the blue and white.
Friday November 26th Prince George Cougars 5 Regina Pats 3
The Pats let the first two periods get away from them as the Cougars scored 5 straight goals for a 5-0 second period lead. The blue and white put on a furious comeback in the final frame on goals by Mikael Jung, Myles Bell and Jordan Weal that put the Pats back into the hockey game but it was too little, too late as they finish the road trip with a 5-3 loss to Prince George. Brandon Davidson had 2 assists in the loss.
