TUESDAY DUB ROUNDUP: BEDARD LEADS PATS OVER WARRIORS

REGINA – Connor Bedard opened the scoring, then set up Layton Feist’s winner at 4:33 of overtime as the Regina Pats edged the Moose Jaw Warriors 3-2 on Tuesday in Western Hockey League action.

The 15-year-old Bedard, the first player to be granted exceptional player status to enter the WHL a year early, took over the league scoring lead with 19 points in 10 games. He has produced a point in every game this season including seven multi-point outings for Regina, which drafted him No. 1 in 2020 out of North Vancouver, B.C.

Feist finished the game with a pair of goals while Roddy Ross made 28 saves for the Pats (4-4-2).

Braden Yager and Eric Alarie scored for the Warriors (4-5-1), who are on a five-game slide.

Moose Jaw goalie Brett Mirwald stopped 38-of-41 shots in defeat.
