Rebels edged 4-3 in overtime by Calgary
The Red Deer Rebels played a solid overall hockey game Thursday night but still came up just short in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Calgary Hitmen in Western Hockey League action at the Westerner Park Centrium.
Red Deer dropped its 13th game in a row and fell to 2-15-3-0 on the season while Calgary improved to 9-7-2-0 on the year.
“I thought we deserved a better fate,” suggested Rebels Assistant Coach Ryan Colville.
“In overtime, 40 seconds left, there was just one little mistake. I thought as a group we were good. We battled, we played hard. We outchanced them. I think there were times when it was back and forth and a little bit more wide open than we wanted. I thought as a group we played well and we deserved a better fate.”
