Prince Albert Raiders News Release
Regina, SK - A 38-save performance by goaltender Ian Scott pushed the game into overtime where Jesse Lees scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 decision for the Prince Albert Raiders versus the Regina Pats on Sunday evening at the Brandt Centre.
A scoreless game through 50 minutes, Scott put on a goaltending clinic. When the Raiders pulled ahead in the third period, the rookie netminder was tested even harder by the Pats' forwards and came up huge on a number of occasions. Regina managed to even the score with 1:04 left in regulation, but Lees secured the win when he took a cross-ice feed from Vojtech Budik to end it.
Simon Stransky and Lees were the goal scorers for Prince Albert on Sunday. Budik, Austin Glover, Reid Gardiner, and Jordan Tkatch notched assists.
Connor Hobbs recorded the lone goal for the Pats. Assists on the play went to Adam Brooks and Sam Steel.
Scott finished the game with 38 saves on 39 attempts, while Pats' overage goaltender Daniel Wapple turned away 27 of 29 shots.
The Pats outshot the Raiders 39-29. Prince Albert went 1-for-3 on the power play, while Regina was 0-for-6.
The win extends the Raiders streak to six games and improves their record to 10-2-0-1. The Pats slip to 6-5-1-0.
After the game, the Raiders announced that the club has recalled goaltender Curtis Meger from the Regina Pat Canadians of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. Scott will join Hockey Canada next week for the 2015 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge from October 30 to November 7 in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, British Columbia.
The Prince Albert Raiders will play three games at home next week, starting with the Edmonton Oil Kings on Wednesday, October 28. A reminder that the Raider's home game on Saturday, October 31 has been moved to 7:00 PM. For ticket information, visit raiderhockey.com or call 764-GAME.
