Oil spill slips up Rebels ahead of playoffs
It was not a good night for the Red Deer Rebels as far as building momentum ahead of the WHL Playoffs next weekend.
The Rebels lost 7-3 to the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Peavey Mart Centrium, giving each team four wins in the season series.
The main difference is that Red Deer is set to face Medicine Hat in the first round while Edmonton is outside the playoff picture looking in, and well below the Rebels in the standings.
Red Deer will get a chance to avenge the loss in each team’s regular season finale, Sunday at 4 p.m. from Rogers Place in Edmonton.
