It was the only goal of the first period, with Medicine Hat outshooting Red Deer 10-7 after 20 minutes.

Red Deer hit the scoreboard in the second period though when Arshdeep Bains notched his 20^th goal of the season, beating Tigers goalie Beckett Langkow at 8:14, with assists coming from Jackson van de Leest and Kyle Masters to tie the game 1-1.

The Rebels would then take the lead at 12:40 when Liam Keeler scored his 20^th goal of the season, on the power play, following a five minute cross checking major and game misconduct to Medicine Hat’s Bogdans Hodass. Christoffer Sedoff and Kalan Lind assisted on the goal which put the Rebels up 2-1.
