Sarah Mills: Figuring out what went wrong for NDP isn't a difficult task
Sarah Mills says it shouldn't be too hard for the federal NDP to figure out why it did so poorly in the spring election....
It took some come-from-behind heroics and a few extra minutes of play, but the Regina Pats beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 4-3 in overtime Sunday from the Brandt Centre in Western Hockey League action.
Austin Pratt’s game-winning overtime goal at 2:13 helped the Pats snap a four-game losing streak, giving the team a 20-31-4-2 record.
Pratt finished the game with a goal and an assist.
Brandon opened the game’s scoring on an even-strength score from Chad Nychuk at 8:10 of the first period.
From then until late in the third period, Regina was playing catch-up by trying to tie the score with Brandon.
With less than five minutes to go in the third, and down 3-2, Pats forward Carter Chorney managed to come through for his side.
He notched a short-handed goal at 16:17 to tie the game 3-3 while teammate Ryker Evans was in the box serving a cross-checking penalty.
It was enough to send the game to overtime where Pratt delivered. His even-strength goal was his 19th of the season.
Pats goalie Donovan Buskey also had a hand in the victory, stopping 31 of 34 shots, including two in overtime.
Brandon netminder Ethan Kruger stopped 24 of 28 shots in the loss. His team (31-21-4-2) remains in third place in the league’s east division.
Regina sits in fifth place in the division.
The Pats next play at home on Friday against the Medicine Hat Tigers.
