Regina, Saskatchewan - Robbie Holmes scored twice and added an assist, Max Paddock made 42 saves and the Regina Pats earned a point in a 5-4 shootout loss at home to the Winnipeg ICE on Sunday.

The ICE scored the game's first goal, just under nine minutes in, to lead 1-0. Regina got it back with just over two minutes left on a pretty passing play from Ty Kolle to Austin Pratt and Robbie Holmes who scored his 12th to make it 1-1. Winnipeg responded 1:17 later thanks to Owen Pederson and led 2-1 at the break. In the second, the Regina powerplay struck when Carson Denomie ripped a shot into the top corner for his eighth and it was 2-2. Winnipeg took the lead back with a powerplay goal of their own at 12:35, but for the third time in the game, the Pats found a way to draw even. Ty Kolle snapped in his 12th from the left circle and it was 3-3 going to the third. Robbie Holmes gave the Pats their first lead of the game, 6:08 into the final period, on a shot from the right circle, his 13th and it was 4-3. Winnipeg found a tying goal with 2:50 remaining to force overtime and then a shootout. Connor McClennon scored the lone goal of the shootout and the ICE took the extra point in a 5-4 final.

The Pats were outshot 46-31, the powerplay was one for five and the penalty kill was five for six. Robbie Holmes led the offence with two goals and an assist, while Max Paddock made 42 saves.

The Pats (8-18-3-1) are off for the Christmas Break and will return to action on Friday, December 27 in Moose Jaw against the Warriors at 7 p.m. on 620 CKRM.
