Huskies pull out thriller in nasty conditions

Oct 24, 2026

The ice tilted in the Huskies favour in the third and Pelletier finally leveled the score at the 14:50 mark. Cole Jordan pinched down the left wing boards to cut off a clearing attempt and fed the puck to the fourth-year forward, who had time to wheel around in the slot and whip a shot past Cunningham for his team-leading third goal of the season.

The Huskies had power play opportunities to win the game late in the third period and in overtime, but Cunningham held the fort and forced the contest to a shootout, where Jaydon Dureau scored for Saskatchewan in round one and Ben Roulette equalized for Regina in round three.

After neither team found the net in the first round of extra shooters, Keeler fired a shot off Cunningham’s glove and in to give the Dogs the advantage. Maier then stopped Cougars captain Kade Runke to seal the deal.

The win moves USask into top spot in the West Division standings at 4-1 while Regina moves into second place with a 3-1-1 record.

The provincial rivals will reconvene at Merlis Belsher Place for Saturday’s rematch, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. and can be heard on the free HuskieFAN app.
