The Regina Pats suffered an 8-0 defeat against the Medicine Hat Tigers, marking their third consecutive loss in the WHL's Eastern Conference. Despite attempting 23 shots, the Pats couldn't break through Medicine Hat's defense, and their goaltender Evan May secured his second shutout of the season. Head coach Brad Herauf expressed the team's frustration with scoring difficulties but emphasized the importance of staying positive and working hard to turn things around.
In addition to their tough loss, the Pats made a significant roster move by placing 20-year-old goaltender Drew Sim on waivers. Sim, who was the team's starting goalie last year, has yet to play this season due to recovery from hip surgery. The Pats are now looking ahead to their upcoming games against the Edmonton Oil Kings and the Red Deer Rebels, focusing on staying positive and believing in their abilities to overcome the challenges they are facing.
Despite the setbacks, the coaching staff and players remain committed to maintaining a positive outlook and regaining their momentum. The team is determined to bounce back from their losing streak and is focusing on working hard and staying unified as they prepare for their upcoming matches against the Oil Kings and the Rebels.
