After scoring his 50th and 51st goals of the campaign, Connor Bedard became the youngest player in WHL history to score 50 goals in a season.
Bedard's pair of goals helped the Regina Pats earn a 7-4 victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors at the Brandt Centre in their final game of the regular season. He also finished with 100 points on the season, finishing fourth in the league's scoring race as Red Deer’s Arshdeep Bains won the scoring title with 112 points.
Unfortunately for Bedard, the Pats failed to reach the post-season, finishing ninth in the East. The Warriors who finished the No. 4 seed will open their first-round playoff series with the Saskatoon Blades on Friday.
