Rebels edged 3-2 in Medicine Hat
It was an improved effort by the Red Deer Rebels Monday night in Medicine Hat, but it still wasn’t enough as they came up on the short end of a 3-2 decision at the hands of the Tigers.
The Rebels suffered their 12th consecutive loss and fell to 2-15-2-0 on the season while the Tigers won their ninth straight to improve to 12-3-0-1.
Chase Coward got the call between the pipes for Red Deer for his first start of the season. Coward, who signed with the Rebels in 2018 after being added from the Prairie Hockey Academy, made a pair of appearances with the Rebels last season.
Medicine Hat opened the scoring with yet another powerplay goal as Ryan Chyzowski beat Coward for this eighth goal of the year 12:58 into the first period.
