Rebels power play comes up short in 3-2 loss to Raiders
The Red Deer Rebels have lost back to back games for the first time in over a month after falling 3-2 to the Prince Albert Raiders Friday night at the Enmax Centrium.
It was a game where the Rebels were close and had several chances to capitalize on the power play, but came up short.
“This was a game where I didn’t think we had enough intensity and emotion. There wasn’t enough urgency,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said. “What bothers me is it’s two games in a row. We’ve come back off the road trip and some things have crept in that I saw earlier in the year. Now we have to see what the character of the group is going to be like here moving forward, how they’re going to handle it. It starts with your captain and works right through the lineup.”
Prince Albert opened the scoring just 14 seconds into the game when Kody McDonald ripped a shot past the glove side of Rebels goalie Ethan Anders. Jordy Stallard put the Raiders ahead 2-0 when he fired a shot off the post and in late in the opening period.
