Brandon Hagel tucked in his 19th and it was 1-0 Rebels after one. In second, the Pats drew even 42 seconds in when Austin Pratt banged home a rebound for his team leading 12th and it was 1-1. Regina then took their first lead at the 13:39 mark, Sergei Alkhimov buried a shot from the bottom of the right circle for his sixth and the Pats lead 2-1 after 40 minutes. In the third, Scott Mahovlich scored his fourth of the year, 1:12 into the frame and Regina led 3-1. The Rebels got one back at 11:49 and then tied it at 17:07 and it was 3-3 going to overtime. The extra frame solved nothing, in the shootout, Brett Davis scored the lone goal and the Rebels took the extra point in a 4-3 final.
