PATS 3 OIL KINGS 1
Regina, SK – The Regina Pats (28-23-3-4) beat the Edmonton Oil Kings (25-28-6-1) 3-1 at the Brandt Centre before over 4700 fans on Sunday afternoon. The Pats are now winners of five straight games.
Game Story
The Regina Pats got on the board early, opening the scoring just .23 second into the game. Cole Sanford notched his 29th of the year and in doing so, extended his consecutive game points streak to seven. Sanford would extend the Pats lead to 2-0, twelve minutes later, on the power play. Edmonton would get one in the first thanks to Dario Meyer at the 14:30 mark. However, that would be as close as Edmonton would get. The second would remain scoreless despite some good chances for both teams, including a three on one rush for Regina, and Edmonton having a two man advantage for 1:14. Chase Harrison would add to the Pats lead in the third to seal the victory. The Oil Kings outshot the Pats 20-8 in the third and 49-31 overall. With the win, Pats Goaltender Tyler Brown has now won seven straight.

Excited that the Pats pulled off another big win BUT as excited for Dryden Hunt who gets another Hat Trick today against the Broncos!!
Pats have got to straighten out their game pretty soon. They may have won five in a row but they've played two rather poor games in a row. It will catch up with them soon. If not for Brown this is a big fat "L".
Hey Debbie Downer, good teams WIN games like that. The Pats are finally rounding into form and they will win more games like that down the stretch due to depth and good goaltending. Don't expect to see much more of Hollett this year as Brownie has found THE ZONE! The area to shore up now is the PP. Once that happens the Pats could go ROUNDS in the playoffs.
PBB
me too, Hunt 5 hat tricks in 8 games amazing
Agree with the last Anon…GOOD Teams sometimes win even when they don't have their best games.
Big congrats to Brooks on Player of the Week!
