Saskatoon 5 Pats 3
This time it was the Saskatoon Blades turn. On Tuesday night the Pats battled back from a two-goal deficit and completed the comeback, to win in overtime. Wednesday night the Blades turned the trick, scoring three goals in the second period to defeat the Pats 5 - 3.
The game was interesting right from the start when Matt Robinson wired a shot off the cross-bar twenty seconds into the opening period. The Pats controlled play for the majority of the period and were physically taking the play to their provincial rivals with key body-checks from Nick Ross, Craig Schira & Colten Teubert early on.
Curtis Hunt's side grabbed the lead when Matt Robinson jumped on a lose puck following a Logan Pyett point-shot on the power-play at the 8:22 mark. Kyle Deck added the other assist on Robinson's second of the series.
Robinson scored his second of the period on a delayed power-play opportunity after Khudobin gave up another juicy rebound to the White Rock, BC native two minutes after his first goal. Denis Tolpeko & Kyle Ross had the assists.
Four seconds into a power-play Devin Setoguchi scored nice goal driving to the net beating David Reekie five-hole at the 15:03 mark.
Reekie made a nice save on Bader to preserve the Pats lead with under a minute remaining. The Pats outshot Saskatoon 12 - 5 in the opening twenty minutes.
Petr Kalus scored a goal for the ages 4:46 into the second period when his wrist shot was high missing the net, but ricocheted off the plexi-glass back to the Saskatoon net where the puck went off Khudobin's glove and in the net. Garrett Festerling & Justin Bernhardt were credited with the assists.
Brad Cole started the Blades comeback by beating a screened Reekie with a point-shot 6:18 into the middle stanza. Ryan Menei & Michael MacAngus had the assists
Wacey Rabbit evened the score with 8:23 remaining in the period electing to shoot on a two-on-one opportunity created by Chad Klassen & Joe Logan.
Klassen came close to giving the Blades the lead with just over four minutes remaining in the second, zinging a slap-shot off the post.
Joe Barnes did put the Blades ahead with a breakaway goal with 1:27 left in the period after a Pats turnover in the neutral zone. Aaron Bader had the lone assist on the play.
Saskatoon outshot the Pats 9 - 8 in the period and took the momentum into the intermission, despite being outplayed for the majority of the game until that point.
The Blades came close to gaining a two-goal advantage hitting a post and a cross-bar in the first ten minutes of the third period.
Both teams showed offensive flashes in the third period, but both goaltenders stood tall and kept the period scoreless until Zdenek Bahensky scored into an empty-net to seal the game with fifteen seconds remaining.
Anton Khudobin made twenty-eight saves in the victory.
David Reekie made sixteen saves in defeat.
The Pats were 1/2 on the power-play. Saskatoon was 1/3 with the man advantage.
