Tanner Howe tallied twice, while Parker Berge had a goal and a helper, as the Regina Pats skated to a 4-2 win over the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings during “Connor Bedard Bobble Head Night” at Brandt Centre.
The Pats fell behind 2-0 before scoring four unanswered goals, to snap their mini three game losing streak.

With just three minutes left in the second period Tanner Howe (12) scored on a power play to have the Pats trailing 2-1 at the end of the second frame.
