Regina, Sask. - The Regina Pats snapped a three-game skid in style on Sunday, rallying for an impressive 3-2 come-from-behind overtime win over the Moose Jaw Warriors at the Brandt Centre.

The victory marked Regina's eighth comeback win of the season and improved the Pats to 4-0-1 against their Highway 1 rivals.

Moose Jaw carried a 2-0 lead into the third period after goals from Pavel McKenzie and Mathieu Lajoie in the opening frame, but the Pats' young core sparked a spirited rally.

Maddox Schultz got Regina on the board at 7:16 of the third period, burying a rebound to cut the deficit to one. The goal extended Schultz's point streak to five games and shifted momentum firmly in the Pats' favour.

Just over three minutes later, the Pats pulled even on the power play. Liam Pue found Keets Fawcett in the slot, and the Pats' leading scorer snapped a shot into the top corner for his team-leading 25th goal of the season, tying the game 2-2.

Regina completed the comeback in overtime as Caden Brown ended the contest at 2:24 of the extra frame. After Ephram McNutt created a net-front scramble, Brown pounced on the rebound for his second overtime goal of the season, extending his point streak to six games. The win was Regina's 16th of the year and their third in overtime.

Despite the loss, Warriors goaltender Chase Wutzke was outstanding, stopping 49 of 53 shots and earning first-star honours. The Pats outshot Moose Jaw 52-23 on the night and capitalized once on two power-play opportunities.
