The Rebels met up with the Edmonton Oil Kings Saturday night at the Westerner Park Centrium but came up on the losing end of a 4-0 score to the best team in the WHL.
The loss brings an end to the Rebels’ season best four-game winning streak. Edmonton has won all seven meetings with the Rebels so far this season.
The Oil Kings got on the board first with a power-play goal at 8:02 of the first period. Riley Sawchuk was set up at the top of the circle and he one-timed a pass from Matthew Robertson past Red Deer goalie Ethan Anders to make it 1-0.
17:08 into the first period, Edmonton was awarded a penalty shot after Mason Ward threw his stick, stopping a chance for Carter Souch. Souch took advantage of the opportunity, going backhand on Anders to make it 2-0.
