Giorgio Estephan (2016, sixth round) notched a first-period assist Tuesday as Lethbridge advanced to the Western Hockey League Eastern Conference Final with an exciting 5-4 overtime victory at Medicine Hat in Game 7.
Estephan, who has been on fire throughout the playoffs but was unable to score in the final three games of the series with Medicine Hat, got back on track with a pair of goals Friday as Lethbridge opened the conference final with a 3-2 victory over Regina.
Estephan made it a 1-1 game at 13:23 of the second period when he glided into a soft spot in the Pats' defense and buried a one-timer from the right hash marks for his ninth goal of the playoffs.
