Head to Head
rThis will be the third of six match-ups between these East Division rivals as well as the third and final game in Prince Albert. The last meeting came a little over a week ago with the Pats dominating most of the hockey game, but let slip away a 3-2 loss in overtime. Jordan Eberle and Colten Teubert scored the goals for the Pats, but the story of the game was the play of Garrett Zemlak, who kicked away 34 of 36 shots.
r
The first game on September 30th and it turned out to be a great return for Jordan Eberle to the Pats line-up. He combined with Jordan Weal and Brett Leffler for 6 goals and 11 points in a 9-3 win. Damien Ketlo was solid with a 30 save performance for his first win of the season.
