Regina handled Calgary 7-2 in regulation, a result built on scoring in all three periods and a third period the Hitmen never got a handle on. The Pats scored twice before Calgary found the scoresheet and never trailed.
Regina took a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes, then traded goals in the middle frame to go up 4-2 after 40. The game broke open in the third, when the Pats added three unanswered for the 7-2 final.
The number that matters: 5-0 on the scoreboard across the first and third periods. Calgary's only two goals came in the second, and Regina matched them even in the period it conceded.
