<p>The Calgary Hitmen withstood a highlight-reel goal from Regina Pats star Connor Bedard to beat the visitors last month at the Saddledome.</p>
<p>The snipe from the 16-year-old phenom is already being touted as a candidate for goal of the year but it wasn't enough, as <a href="https://whl.ca/gamecentre/1018371/boxscore">the Hitmen won in overtime 5-4 on Feb. 6</a>.</p>

<p>The Hitmen are currently seventh in the <a href="https://whl.ca/standings/275/conference/">WHL's Eastern Conference</a>, with 47 points while the Pats are in 10th place with 41 points.</p>
