MOOSE JAW, Sask. (CP) – Dryden Hunt scored the only goal in the shootout as the Warriors slipped past Regina 4-3 Saturday night at Mosaic Place.
Jesse Shynkaruk, Jayden Halbgewachs and Nikita Popugaev supplied the offence in regulation for Moose Jaw (15-9-5), which won its third in a row.

With the extra time loss, the Pats conclude their nine-game rodeo trip at 4-3-1-1. Regina returns home Wednesday against the Calgary Hitmen at 7:00 pm on 620 CKRM.
Funny, every time the Pats "LOSE" their is hardly ever a comment on here . When they win, they fill their boots about how great they are this year. Let's face it they are mediocre and that's it.
I think the Pats did pretty well over 9 games on the road going 4-3-1-1. I don't think fans are fooling themselves about what the team really is. Some talent is good while some not so much. It's obvious that they could use another good offensive forward and hopefully a deal is being worked on. One of the d-men is -13 and that needs to be addressed.

Ho hum. They'll either miss the playoffs or exit quickly. Why get excited?
They are in a rebuilding stage Anon…and likely playing better and winning more games than anyone expected at this point.

The coaching staff and owners let it be known this that they have a plan in place for 2 years down the road…so I am willing to wait and see.. so far I am impressed.
