PATS SNAP SLIDE, DOWN BRONCOS 4-1

Swift Current, Sask. — The Regina Pats fired a ton of rubber on net on Friday night and this time they were rewarded with a 4-1 victory over the Swift Current Broncos. With the win, the Pats halted their seven game losing streak.

The Pats are now 3-7-0 on the season, while the Broncos fall to 2-6-2.

The Regiment out-shot the home side 48-28 in the game, including 19-5 in the third period alone. Despite all the shots, the score was tight throughout, with Regina entering the third with a tentative 2-1 lead and not getting their third goal until there was just over five minutes remaining.

Pats forward Cole Dubinsky kept his hot play going, scoring twice. He picked up both the game-winning-goal and the insurance marker, the latter of which came on a power play. Zack Stringer also scored a pair, tying the game early in the second period and capping off his night with an empty-net goal. Connor Bedard had one assist and was plus-1, with two PIMs.
