Pat Chat January 12th
The Week That Was
A busy week saw the new-look Pats face off against three teams with mixed results. As the team looked to build chemistry, the Blue and White picked up a key win against the U.S. Division leading Everett Silvertips. Tyler Brown stepped between the pipes for an injured Daniel Wapple and was named the first star in a 3-1 victory against the Silvertips. Jesse Gabrielle picked up his first goal as a Pat in the win. Friday brought the Oil Kings and goaltender Tristan Jarry to town. The Pittsburgh Penguins netminder made 36 saves as the Pats fell by a 4-1 count. The week ended with a wild affair as the Pats and Raiders posted seven goals in just the first period of Saturday’s game. The Raiders held a 6-3 lead going into the third, but saw the Pats roar back with two late markers only to come up short in a 6-5 loss. Taylor Cooper scored his first as a Pat, then added two more for the hat-trick plus an assist in the loss.
