Raiders use big third period to take down Pats

Four straight third-period goals powered the Prince Albert Raiders to a 6-3 victory over the visiting Regina Pats on Friday.

Regina led the WHL contest 2-1 entering the third, but the Raiders took control with the four-goal outburst. Each team scored once more the rest of the way.

Spencer Moe had two goals and an assist for Prince Albert, which got one goal and two helpers from Aliaksei Protas and three assists from Ilya Usau. Ozzy Wiesblatt, Reece Vitelli and Brayden Watts also scored goals for the Raiders.

Logan Nijhoff, with two, and Drew Englot had goals for Regina. Englot’s tally was the first of the rookie’s WHL career.

Big congrats to @DrewEnglot!!
