PATCHAT
• The Week That Was
The Pats faced a four game in five night schedule and came out with three of four wins. The week opened with the Pats overcoming a slow start to roll by the Lethbridge Hurricanes by an 8-0 score in which Dyson Stevenson netted four goals. The biggest games of the week came in a home-and-home with Swift Current starting Wednesday when a depleted Pats lineup fell by a 6-2 count to the Broncos. Friday’s contest had the Blue and White trailing 2-0, but Connor Gay’s pair of highlight reel goals helped the Pats bounce back with a thrilling 4-3 OT win.
The Blue and White ended the week in Moose Jaw where Dmitry Sinitsyn had a four point night to help the Pats to a 7-3 win to sweep their season series with Moose Jaw and clinch a playoff spot.
