Every period was a close one in the contest between the Regina Pats and the Prince Albert Raiders Wednesday night. Unfortunately for the Raiders, all three tightly-contested periods tilted in favor of the home side.
Easton Armstrong, Tanner Howe, and Tye Spencer all scored, and Drew Sim stopped all 22 shots he faced as the Raiders fell 3-0 in Regina. Tikhon Chaika stopped 27 of 30 shots thrown his way in the loss.
Bus legs may have contributed to a slow Raiders start, as the Pats had the first several shots of the game and the first goal. A breakout pass skipped right over a Raiders stick and right to the tape of Armstrong, who broke in and wired a shot top-corner to open the scoring.
By the end of the first period, the Raiders were pushing back, taking the lead in the shots on goal department, drawing a penalty thanks to hard work by Niall Crocker and Hayden Pakkala, and moving the puck well on the ensuing power play. They were not able to solve Sim, however.
