Regina 5 Prince Albert 4 (OT) Sam Steel and Josh Mahura had the Regina Pats (27-22-5-0) sitting pretty midway through the third period.

Moose Jaw @Prince Albert Just one night after guarantee win night, the Prince Albert Raiders took on the Moose Jaw Warriors at the Art Hauser Centre. It would be the Raiders who got the early jump in this one as Jordy Stallard would score his 28th goal of the year. […]
