Regina Pats News Release


SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. - The Regina Pats bounced back in a big way Saturday night, earning a 4-2 victory over the Swift Current Broncos at InnovationPlex.

Four different goal scorers powered the Blue Brigade, as Keets Fawcett, Ellis Mieyette, Zachary Lansard, and Julien Maze each found the back of the net. Goaltender Marek Schlenker was sharp between the pipes, stopping 30 of 32 shots for his first win of the season.

The Broncos opened the scoring just 54 seconds in on a power play, when Josh McGregor buried a rebound to make it 1-0. From there, it was all Regina in the first period. Fawcett tied the game at 11:02 with a five-hole blast off a slick no-look feed from Mieyette, who later gave the Pats their first lead of the night with his third goal of the season. Just over a minute later, Lansard capitalized on a turnover and finished a highlight-reel move in front to make it 3-1 Regina after one.

Maze extended the Pats' lead early in the second period, picking the far corner from the right circle for a power-play marker to make it 4-1. The Broncos got one back early in the third when rookie Carter Moen scored his first WHL goal, but Schlenker and the Pats' defence locked things down from there.

Both teams finished with 32 shots on goal, while the Pats went 2-for-6 on the power play and held the Broncos to 1-for-5.

With the win, the Pats improve to 1-4-0-0 on the season and avenge their season-opening loss to Swift Current.
