The Regina Pats gave up five unanswered goals to suffer a 6-2 defeat to the Winnipeg ICE Wednesday night at the Brandt Centre.
The scoring started in the first period when Owen Pederson pushed in a rebound at the 7:51 mark, giving the ICE a 1-0 lead.
Jake Johnson responded for the Pats, scoring his second career WHL goal, tying the game heading into the second period.
Nikita Sedov would give the Pats the lead in the second period off of a great feed from Pats Captain Austin Pratt. Sedov’s fifth of the year made it a 2-1 game.
The floodgates then opened up for Winnipeg. Poor time and puck management from the Pats resulted in a three-on-two break for the ICE in the final 10 seconds of the second period, which resulted in Isaac Johnson scoring his 28th of the season, tying the game 2-2 after two periods.
Early in the third, Carson Lambos scores the eventual game-winning goal, making it 3-2.
Former Pats prospect Cole Muir scored an insurance marker 5:08 into the final period, doubling the lead for Winnipeg.
Michal Teply then added to the lead with his 29th goal of the season on the power play. Michael Milne capped off the scoring at the 14:54 mark of the third, resulting in a 6-2 ICE win.
