Carter Chorney and Ryker Evans both picked up two points as the Regina Pats doubled up the Saskatoon Blades 4-2 Tuesday night.
Roddy Ross made 20 saves in the win, the Pats first against the rival Blades this season.
Pats Coach Dave Struch said the last two games, which includes a 4-3 win over Prince Albert on Sunday, have been the team’s best efforts of the year from top to bottom.
“Everyone was good, I mean our goalie was good again, we are playing physical, and I think that game against Prince Albert was a real good development game for us, as far as playing with courage,” Struch said. ” I think more than anything we understand what it takes to win, we’re playing hard, like it’s the playoffs, Struch added”
Struch has also been encouraged seeing his team trying to consistently do the unselfish little things the past few games.
“It’s hard to do things the right way all the time, because some of those right things aren’t very fun, but our guys have been doing that, blocking shots and doing the right things in our zone defensively,” Struch said.
The Pats, who are now (8-9-2-1) will face Swift Current (4-15-1-0) Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. on 620 CKRM.
