Rebels fall to Giants in Vancouver
A night after ending their six game losing streak, the Red Deer Rebels couldn’t keep the momentum going in Vancouver, dropping a 4-2 decision to the Giants.
James Malm opened the scoring for the home side when he beat Rebels goalie Ethan Anders 7:48 into the first period.
Red Deer responded with 30 seconds left in the period as Kristian Reichel put home his ninth goal of the season past Giants netminder David Tendeck.
The two teams also traded goals in the second period. Brandon Cutler gave the Rebels a 2-1 lead when he scored his first goal of the season, from a near impossible angle, at the 6:17 mark. Brayden Watts pulled Vancouver back even when he tallied his eight of the year a little over six minutes later.
