Six third period goals lifted the Yorkton Harvest to a come-from-behind 8-6 win over the Regina Pat Canadians Saturday afternoon.
Both power play and penalty kill units were working well for the Harvest as the power play squad buried the puck six times on 18 opportunities for a 33 per cent average while the penalty kill units held the Pat Canadians scoreless on seven chances. As well the Harvest showed a good deal of discipline making only seven trips to the sin bin while the Pat Canadians took 18 penalties in the game, 10 of then in the third period alone.
Regina jumped out into a 3-2 lead after the first period as Brandon Helbgewachs, Jared Martin and Colby Williams each slipped the puck past Harvest net minder Spencer Bomboir.
The Harvest scored a pair of power play goals in the opening period to keep the game within reach. Dakota Odgers notched the first assisted by Tanner LeSann and Kody Thue. Devin McGonigal scored the second assisted by Blake McMillan.
Garett Lockeridge scored the lone second period goal for Regina to give the Pat Canadians a two goal edge after two periods.
