Rebels taken down by T-Birds ahead of lengthy road trip
It was a game that got away from the Rebels on Wednesday night, losing 4-2 to the Seattle Thunderbirds in their final home game before a lengthy road trip.
Red Deer got into trouble early, Brandon Schuldhaus heading to the penalty box at 5:43 for holding.
Seattle would capitalize as former Rebel Austin Strand notched his 8th of the season just 21 seconds later to make it 1-0 T-Birds.
Late in the period, Alexander Alexeyev wired his first of the season past Liam Hughes to make it 1-1. Shots after the first period were 20-10 Seattle.
