Tyler Penny and Russ Nielsen also scored for Regina, while Daniel Iwanski scored the Pronghorns' other goal.

Andrew Hayes got the start for the Cougars and stopped 24 of 26 shots to collect his second win in as many starts.

The Cougars ended up outshooting Lethbridge 53-26 during the game, as Pronghorns goalie Damien Ketlo made 49 saves in the loss and was named the game's second star.
