Rebels come back to stun Broncos 5-3
When the Red Deer Rebels are at the top of the game they’ve shown they’re capable of playing, and competing, with any team in the WHL.
They showed it again Saturday night with a much improved effort from their home loss Friday to Prince Albert, scoring four straight third period goals for a 5-3 win over the high flying Swift Current Broncos.
“It certainly was an exciting win, to come back like that and score four goals in the third to win,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “But moreso than anything, I just liked our overall game tonight. We were just much better in a lot of areas. We played more tonight like we had seen on the road trip. When we play that way we’ll find ways to get points and find ways to win hockey games.”
The first period was quick-paced but featured few scoring chances and only 13 total shots on goal, the Broncos with seven of them.
