Laval Rouge et Or earned the 17-14 win at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday.
Bryan Thomson and a goalpost saved the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Friday.
Three minutes into overtime of a WHL game in Lethbridge, Regina Pats star Connor Bedard hit a post behind Thomson in the Hurricanes’ goal. Bedard regained control of the puck, but his shot from the slot was repelled by Thomson.
The Hurricanes immediately went the other way and Logan McCutcheon scored to give the home team a 5-4 victory.
Lethbridge improved to 33-23-3-3, good for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Canes are six points up on Regina (31-26-3-1), which fell to 0-2-1 in its past three games.
Bedard, Tanner Howe, Braxton Whitehead and Tye Spencer had goals for the Pats, who got two assists from Zack Stringer. Regina was 3-for-6 on the power play.
Jett Jones, Miguel Marques, Tyson Zimmer and Joe Arnsten scored in regulation time for Lethbridge. Arnsten’s goal with 2:22 left in the third period tied the game and forced OT.
Regina goalie Drew Sim stopped 34 shots, 12 more than Thomson.
The Pats are to visit the Medicine Hat Tigers on Saturday.
