REGINA – The Regina Pats lost a tight one, 3-1 to the Moose Jaw Warriors at the Brandt Centre on Friday night.

In the first, the Pats scored the first goal just as their first powerplay of the game expired. Ty Kolle got a shot away from the top of the right circle to score his 14th and Regina led 1-0, four minutes in. Moose Jaw found the tying goal five minutes later on the powerplay from Justin Almeida and 43 seconds later, Carson Denomie scored to make it 2-1 Warriors and that was the score after the first.

In the second, the Warriors outshot Regina 9-6 but neither team would score, and it was 2-1 after 40 minutes.

In the third, the Pats outshot Moose Jaw 7-4 but the Warriors got an empty net goal with 19 seconds left to lead 3-1 and take the two points.

The Pats were outshot 32-20. The powerplay went 0/4 while the penalty kill was 3/4.  Max Paddock made 29 saves on 31 shots in a first star performance.
