While the Pats didn’t come out with the win in their Friday night matchup against the Prince Albert Raiders, Bedard passed an impressive benchmark, scoring his 50th goal in 40 games while also recording 100 points on the season.
Bedard is the first Pat to have back-to-back 50 goal seasons since Mike Sillinger, who scored 50 goals in three straight seasons from 1988 to 1991, the Pats said in their game recap.
Bedard currently leads the Western Hockey League in goals, points and shots on goal (265).
Since returning from the World Juniors in early January, he’s recorded 23 goals, 13 assists and 36 points in 12 games, the team explained.
The Pats fell to the Raiders during a hard fought contest in Prince Albert’s Art Hauser Centre on Feb. 17.
Bedard and company had a strong start, leading 3-1 at the end of the first period.
