It was the eighth hat trick of the season for the 17-year-old WHL scoring leader, who now has 66 goals on the season.
He’ll have to wait at least another day to help the Pats clinch a playoff spot, though.
The Pats just need one point in their final four games to ensure a playoff trip.
The Warriors scored six straight goals after Bedard opened the scoring to take control of the game.
Bedard took a high hit from Robert Baco after scoring his second goal, causing a melee.
The consensus No. 1 pick in this year’s NHL Draft now has nine points in his past two games.
Seattle Kraken prospect Jagger Firkus had a hat trick for Moose Jaw.
BEDARD’S SEASON TOTALS: 53 GP, 66 G, 68 A, 134 Pts.
PATS’ RECORD: 32-28-4 (Sixth in the Eastern Conference)
UP NEXT: The Pats and Warriors wrap up a home-and-home series in Moose Jaw on Saturday at 9 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. MT.
