Another overtime win for Rebels
The Red Deer Rebels squeaked by the Hurricanes in Lethbridge Friday night, picking up a 3-2 overtime win at the Enmax Centre, their second overtime victory this week.
Previously, the Rebels edged Calgary 4-3 in extra time at the Peavey Mart Centrium on Sunday.
The first period on Friday, however, put the Rebels in the lead when Arshdeep Bains scored his 11th goal of the season on goalie Bryan Thomson at the 6:26 mark. The goal came on the power play with the Hurricane’s Logan Barlage in the box for a hooking penalty. The Rebels’ Kai Uchacz and Blake Stevenson assisted on the play.
Lethbridge caught up at the 13:07 mark when Noah Boyko scored his ninth goal of the season on netminder Connor Ungar, assisted by Chase Wheatcroft and Alex Thacker. The score now tied, the Hurricanes quickly surpassed the Rebels with Alex Thacker not only winning the faceoff but scoring his fifth goal of the season, unassisted.
