<\/p>\n CALGARY \u2013 Power plays decided the night at Father David Bauer Arena on Friday, as the University of Regina Cougars beat the University of Calgary Dinos men’s hockey team 4-2 in the Dinos’ home opener.<\/p>\n Five of the six goals came on the man advantage, with both Dinos goals coming from second-year forward Hayden Pakkala<\/a>, while the Cougars had four different goal scorers.<\/p>\n “They executed, and it was a good job,” said Dinos head coach Mark Howell<\/a> on his power play unit. “It’s good to score on the power play, but we keep taking penalties that shoot us in the foot, and we can’t seem to kill penalties off. It’s great our power play was good, but we have to be better on the other side as well.”<\/p>\n The Dinos now move to 0-3 on the season while the Cougars improve to 3-0.<\/p>\n The Dinos had the better of the early play, outshooting Regina 7-2 in a scoreless first period. Calgary created several good chances in front of the net with rookie Trae Johnson<\/a> trying to go five-hole on a one-on-one before Cougars goaltender Damon Cunningham made the stop to keep it scoreless.<\/p>\n Regina broke the deadlock just past the midway point of the second period on the power play when Ben Roulette cleaned up a deflected puck in front of the net. Calgary answered on its own power play three minutes later with Pakkala scoring from the slot off a goal-line pass from Dinos captain Jake Poole<\/a>. Cougars forward Jye Zawatsky responded 37 seconds later, beating Dinos goaltender Carl Tetachuk<\/a> on the blocker side from the top of the left circle with the man advantage to regain the lead.<\/p>\n
