Pats Host Warriors in Final Game of 2021-22 Season

April 17, 2022 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Regina Pats News Release


Regina, Sask. - The Regina Pats (26-36-3-2) host the Moose Jaw Warriors (37-23-4-3) on Sunday at 4:00 p.m., inside the Brandt Centre.

Today is the final day of the regular season, as these two clubs wrap up their 2021-22 campaign.

The Pats are coming off a 6-4 loss to the Winnipeg ICE on Saturday, as the club has now lost their last two games. Following the game, the Pats were eliminated from playoff contention as the Prince Albert Raiders defeated the Brandon Wheat Kings, clinching the eighth seed.

In the loss, the Pats got a two goal game from Logan Nijhoff, as well as goals from Braxton Whitehead and Easton Armstrong. Spencer Welke made 34 saves in the defeat. The final shots were 40-29 for Winnipeg, with the Pats going 2-for-4 on their power play and 2-for-2 on the penalty kill.

The Pats fall short of the playoffs for the fourth straight season (three if you don't count the Hub).

On the other side, the Moose Jaw Warriors will take on the Saskatoon Blades in the opening round of the WHL playoffs, with the Warriors being the fourth seed, and the Blades finishing in fifth. Moose Jaw makes the playoffs for the first time since the 2018-19 season, and for the fifth time in seven seasons. They are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Friday.
