PATS TOP OIL KINGS 6-5

Regina, Sask. — An entertaining, high-scoring affair ended in the Regina Pats’ favour on Monday night, as they came away with a 6-5 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings.

It was an explosion of goals in the first half of this contest, with the Pats taking a 4-2 lead after initially trailing the game 2-0, and then jumping out to a 6-4 lead through 40 minutes. Regina held on in the third to claim the two points thanks to the 6-5 final.

Six different Pats found the back of the net in the victory, including three defencemen: Tom Cadieux, Ryker Evans and Layton Feist, plus forwards Drew Englot, Braxton Whitehead and rookie Braydon Barnett, who scored his first career WHL in just his second game. Feist recorded a four-point night, with all four coming in the opening period, and was named the game’s first star. Tanner Howe, meanwhile, extended his point streak to 15 games with a pair of assists, skating on a line with Drew Englot and Jakob Brook. Englot was the game’s third star with a two-point performance.

The attendance was 3,303.

The Pats next action is Wednesday at home against the Winnipeg ICE.
