That marks a notable jump from January, when NHL Central Scouting had him slotted 72nd among North American skaters.<\/p>\n

Lansard was the only Regina player to appear in all 68 regular-season games, finishing with a career-high 56 points (24 goals, 32 assists). The performance represents a significant step forward from his rookie season, when he recorded 19 points (7 goals, 12 assists) in 54 games and was named the team\u2019s Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n

His development also earned him a spot in the 2025 WHL Top Prospects Game in Langley, where he showcased his skill set on a national stage during a pivotal draft year. Lansard carried that momentum into the postseason, scoring three goals in five playoff games.<\/p>\n

The 2026 IIHF U18 Men\u2019s World Championship begins April 22, with Canada set to face Slovakia, Latvia, Norway, and Finland in the preliminary round. The tournament concludes with the medal games on May 2.<\/p>\n

Final Score: Tigers 5, Pats 4 (OT)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tigers win series 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Medicine Hat, Alta.<\/strong> \u2014 The season came to a heartbreaking end for the Regina Pats on Saturday night, falling 5-4 in overtime to the Medicine Hat Tigers, who captured the first-round series in five games.<\/p>\n

In Medicine Hat, the Pats looked poised to extend their season early, jumping out to a strong start. Dayton Deschamps opened the scoring just 1:20 into the game, wiring a shot from the high slot after a hard-fought puck battle along the boards by Ellis Mieyette and Jace Egland gave Regina a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The Pats took full control in the second period with a quick offensive burst. Zachary Lansard doubled the lead on the power play less than two minutes in, finishing a setup from Keets Fawcett. Just 23 seconds later, Ruslan Karimov made it 3-0 after capitalizing on a loose puck and firing it past Jordan Switzer.<\/p>\n

Medicine Hat responded midway through the frame, but the Pats pushed back when Mieyette restored a three-goal cushion at 4-1, burying a rebound after a strong drive to the net by Karimov.<\/p>\n

However, momentum shifted late in the second period. The Tigers struck twice in the final two minutes, with Noah Davidson tipping one home before Bryce Pickford blasted a one-timer to suddenly cut the lead to 4-3 heading into the third.<\/p>\n

That late push carried over, and the Tigers completed the comeback in the third period. A tough bounce behind the Regina net led to Liam Ruck finding an empty cage at 14:36, tying the game at four.<\/p>\n

Despite being outshot heavily throughout the night, the Pats forced overtime thanks to 32 saves from Marek Schlenker, who kept Regina in the fight as Medicine Hat pressed for the winner.<\/p>\n

But just 51 seconds into overtime, Cam Parr ended it. Carrying the puck high in the zone, Parr fired a low shot that slipped under Schlenker, sealing the 5-4 victory and ending Regina\u2019s season.<\/p>\n

The Tigers outshot the Pats 37-21 and went 2-for-7 on the power play, while Regina finished 1-for-3. Schlenker turned aside 32 shots in a valiant effort, while Switzer made 17 saves for the win.<\/p>\n

With the loss, the Pats bow out of the playoffs after a hard-fought series.<\/p>\n
