PATCHAT
The Week That Was
A busy week saw the new-look Pats face off against three teams with mixed results. As the team looked to build chemistry, the Blue and White picked up a key win against the U.S. Division leading Everett Silvertips on Wednesday. Tyler Brown stepped between the pipes for an injured Daniel Wapple and was named the first star in a 3-1 victory against the Silvertips. Jesse Gabrielle picked up his first goal as a Pat in the win.
Friday brought the Oil Kings and goaltender Tristan Jarry to town on Friday. The Pittsburgh Penguins netminder made 36 saves as the Pats fell by a 4-1 count.
The week ended with a wild affair as the Pats and Raiders posted seven goals in just the first period of Saturday’s game. The Raiders held a 6-3 lead going into the third, but saw the Pats roar back with two late markers only to come up short in a 6-5 loss. Taylor Cooper scored his first as a Pat, then added two more for the hat-trick plus an assist in the loss.

The Week Ahead
Wednesday, January 14th – Pats at Medicine Hat (8:00 p.m. CST)
Familiar faces abound in the Pats and Tigers second meeting of the season. Most recently, Kyle Burroughs, Dryden Hunt and Connor Hobbs all switched sides while goaltenders Daniel Wapple and Nick Schneider crossed the line last trade deadline. Listen in to all four Alberta games starting 25 minutes before puck drop on 620 CKRM.
Friday, January 16th – Pats at Edmonton (8:00 p.m. CST)
For the second time in a week, the Pats meet up with the Edmonton Oil Kings. The Blue and White look for a way to solve Tristan Jarry after being mostly unsuccessful in that endeavor last week. It’s the Pats’ first visit to Rexall Place this season.
Saturday, January 17th – Pats at Red Deer (8:00 p.m.)
Another familiar face suits up in new colours against the Blue and White. Connor Gay plays his first game against his old teammates when the Pats head to Red Deer to take on the 2016 Memorial Cup hosts.
Sunday, January 18th – Pats at Calgary (5:00 p.m. CST)
