Red Deer (11-12-0) got goals from Brooks Maxwell, Adam Musil and Dominek Volek.

The Pats visit Medicine Hat Saturday night at 8:30 pm on 620 CKRM (Press Box Sports Bar Pregame Show at 8:05 pm).
One of the big differences I see in this years Team is their resiliency to come back in games when they get down…twice last night they overcame 2 goal deficits to pull out a SO win. Not easy to do in an opponent's arena. Some teams would have folded after out shooting opponent 14-4 in 1st period but down 2 goals going into 2nd frame…not the Pats! Good on them..good luck tonight in the Hat!
