There was no shortage of goals in a two-game novice AAA set between the Man-Sask Wolfpack and the Regina Outlaws on Sunday.
The two teams resumed a four-game challenge series with the final two games at the Civic Auditorium.
The Outlaws won the first game 8-6, but the Wolfpack bounced back and won the second one 9-6.
The teams split the four games evenly, although the Wolfpack outscored the Outlaws 22-20.
In the first game on Sunday, the Wolfpack took a 2-0 lead before surrendering four straight goals to end the first period.
Denver Sehn opened the scoring at 2:06, and Tate Kasick made it 2-0 less than two minutes later.
Phoenix Ramage, Takao Cookson, Sam Oremba and Cole Eckert would then score four goals in less than 13 minutes for Regina to give them a 4-2 lead.
In the second period, Cookson made it 5-2 only 37 seconds in, but Carson Birnie got the Wolfpack's third goal at the nine-minute mark.
Regina scored two more goals, courtesy of Oremba and Ramage, to put them ahead 7-3.
Sehn would score his second of the game at the 17:27 mark to get the Wolfpack within three after 40 minutes.
The Outlaws extended their lead 69 seconds into the third on a goal by Kyle Weisgarber.
The Wolfpack would get later goals from Nathan Wagstaff and Ty Hoste, including Hoste's marker with five seconds left, but it wasn't enough to get the win.
In the second game on Sunday, a strong first period for the Man-Sask team was the difference.
Birnie opened the scoring midway through the frame, and Hoste made it 2-0 less than two minutes later.
Ramage got the Outlaws on the board with four minutes left, but Aiden Ziprick replied for the Wolfpack 53 seconds later to put them ahead 3-1 after 20 minutes.
A high-scoring second period followed, with each team potting four goals.
Hoste scored a hat trick in the period, giving him four on the game, and Elias Taylorson also scored for the Wolfpack.
Ramage (2), Cole Eckert and Cookson supplied the Outlaws' offence in the middle frame.
Regina got within a goal just 34 seconds into the third on a goal by Kayden Clive.
It remained 7-6 until halfway through the period, when Colton Pushie restored the Wolfpack's two-goal cushion.
Wagstaff would add some insurance with five seconds left in regulation.
