Rebels shut out Hitmen 3-0
Following a dominant win over the Swift Current Broncos on Wednesday, the Red Deer Rebels followed that up with a 3-0 shut out victory over the Calgary Hitmen at the Peavey Mart Centrium Friday night.
The first period kicked off with a goal nearing the halfway mark by the Rebels’ Arshdeep Bains on Calgary netminder Brayden Peters. It was his 14th goal of the season and assisted by Ben King and Blake Gustafson.
After 20 minutes of play, the Rebels had twice as many shots on goal compared to the Hitmen, by a margin of 14-7.
The second period saw no goals scored, with only a pair of roughing penalties to the Hitmen’s Keagan Slaney and the Rebels’ Arshdeep Bains at 12:13. However, an interference on the goalie penalty to the Rebels Kai Uchacz at the 20-minute mark led the team to being one-man down entering the third period.
