PATS 4 HITMEN 3 (OT)

Calgary, AB – Jake Leschyshyn scored three times including the overtime winner to lift the Regina Pats to a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Hitmen on Friday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

The win by the Pats was their first at the ‘Dome since 2011.

Travis Sanheim forced overtime for Calgary, netting the equalizer with 14.2 seconds remaining in regulation.  The Philadelphia Flyers prospect also added an assist in his first game back after missing nine contests with an injury.

Jakob Stukel netted a pair of goals for the Hitmen who saw their season-high seven game winning streak come to an end but the club has now picked up at least a point in eight consecutive games producing a record of 7-0-1-0.

Radel Fazleev had a pair of assists in the loss to improve his team-leading points total to 35 which is tied for eighth in the WHL scoring race.

The Pats (12-10-2) visit the Red Deer Rebels Saturday at 8:00 pm on 620 CKRM.
