Tyler King was a bright spot on offence for the Cougars in the opening weekend, scoring two goals and adding an assist. Corey Kosloski and rookie Tate Coughlin also scored goals for Regina.

Three players enter the weekend with two points for Lethbridge, as Landon Gross registered two goals and Clint Filbrandt and Jordan Roy both have a goal and a helper for the 'Horns.

Between the Pipes

Garrett Hughson made the start in the first game for Lethbridge, stopping 17 of the 22 shots he faced in roughly a period and a half of work. Taz Burman came on in relief on Friday before getting the start on Saturday and making 45 saves in a 3-2 loss.
