Regina Pats News Release
Regina, Saskatchewan - The Regina Pats picked up a second straight win on Sunday afternoon, 4-3 in overtime over the Calgary Hitmen.
Riley Stotts got the scoring started for the Hitmen with his first of the year, a powerplay goal at 2:32 and it was 1-0. 34 second later, Cole Dubinsky stole a puck in the offensive zone, cut left and buried his first career WHL goal into the top corner to tie it 1-1 and that was the score at the break. The Hitmen took the lead again 11 seconds into the second, but Jake Leschyshyn picked up a powerplay goal at the 12-minute mark and it was 2-2 after 40 minutes. In the third, the Pats fell behind 3-2 on a powerplay goal from Kaden Elder. But once again, the Pats found a tying goal, this time from Aaron Hyman on the powerplay, his third of the year and the game needed overtime. 14 seconds into the extra frame, Jake Leschyshyn set up Nick Henry on a two on one and he scored his second to give the Pats the extra point in a 4-3 final.
The Pats went two for six on the powerplay and the penalty kill was four for six. Nick Henry and Jake Leschyshyn led the offence with a goal and two assists each, while Max Paddock made 29 saves.
The Pats (3-6-0-0) are back on home ice Wednesday to take on the Spokane Chiefs at 7 p.m. at the Brandt Centre.
