In the third, Carson Denomie scored his sixth, 30 seconds in on the powerplay to give Regina the lead. Then Robbie Holmes potted his ninth and the Pats led by two. The Wheat Kings got one back, but Kyle Walker restored the two-goal advantage with his second, making it 5-3. Brandon battled to get one back in the last minute, but Regina held on for the 5-4 win.
