Kubic stands on his head in 3-1 Pats win over Tigers
REGINA, SK — Newly acquired goaltender Ryan Kubic put together a heroic effort in a Regina Pats 3-1 victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday night.
The St. Andrews, MB product was nearly flawless in a 47-save performance at the Brandt Centre, his second consecutive win with his new team. Kubic was traded to the Pats earlier in the week in a deadline deal with Saskatoon.
Cameron Hebig, also acquired by Regina in the same deal as Kubic, scored his first as a Pat, while captain Sam Steel and assistant captain Josh Mahura also found the net. Regina, this year’s hosts of the MasterCard Memorial Cup, are now 22-19-4-0 on the season, winning six of the last ten.
Captain Mark Rassell scored the lone goal for the Tigers, ending a two-game point-less drought. The last time the 20-year-old went back-to-back games without a point was in late November. Rassell now has 35 goals on the year, one off his career high set last season.
