Regina – It appears Pats fans are going to be in for some very entertaining hockey over the next few months.

Ryan Kubic made 47 saves and Cameron Hebig scored the game winner in his debut as the Pats got by the Medicine Hat Tigers 3-1 on Friday night at the Brandt Centre.

Regina opened the scoring when Josh Mahura picked up his 13th on a shot from the blue line and it was 1-0 after one. The Tigers found the game tying goal in the second when Mark Rassell tipped in his 35th and it was 1-1 heading to the third.

In the final frame, Cameron Hebig scored his first with the Pats and 31st of the season on a beautiful toe drag snap shot into the top corner to make it a 2-1 game. Sam Steel added an empty netter late as the Pats picked up a big two points in a 3-1 final.

Ryan Kubic was outstanding making 47 saves while Josh Mahura paced the offence with a goal and an assist.

Regina was outshot 48-31, the powerplay was 0/3 and the penalty kill 2/2 in the victory.
