PATCHAT

The Week That Was
The Pats’ first weekend on home ice in three weeks got off to a great start when the Blue and White jumped out to a 5-0 lead over Prince Albert.  The Raiders would start to chip away, though, and in a flurry of goals in the third period they tied the game 6-6 and sent it to overtime.  Leon Draisaitl scored in overtime to complete the improbable comeback.  Regina followed up the contest with another six goal performance, but the Pats were tough defensively as they only allowed 14 shots in the game while Boston Leier and Braden Christoffer scored twice en route to a 6-1 win.

The Week Ahead
Wednesday, December 4th – Pats at Brandon
The Pats make their first visit to Westman Place to take on the Wheat Kings.  In their only meeting of the season, Regina skated to a 5-1 win over Brandon in an October matinee game.  The Wheat Kings recently bolstered their back-end with the addition of Ryan Pilon (’96) from the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

Friday, December 6th – Pats at Moose Jaw
After tempers flared in a feisty matchup at the Brandt Centre this past weekend, the Pats head to Moose Jaw for a rematch with the Warriors.  The Blue and White have won all five matchups with the Tribe this season.  Listen to every road game on 620 CKRM starting at 6:35 p.m.

Saturday, December 7th – Pats at Saskatoon
The Blue and White close out their set of three road games when the Pats and Blades meet for the second time in the regular season after the Pats took a 5-4 shootout win over the Blades at the Brandt Centre in early October.
