The Red Deer Rebels took on the Lethbridge Hurricanes in a home-and-home series, losing 5-2 at Lethbridge on Friday and 3-2 in a shootout Saturday at the Peavey Mart Centrium.

RECORD

The Rebels are 39-17-2-2 this season. They are in second place in the WHL Central Division and third overall in the Eastern Conference.

NOTABLES

The Rebels have lost back-to-back games just four times this season. Only twice have the Rebels lost two-straight games in regulation time. The Rebels are 7-2-0-1 in their last 10 games and 6-2-0-1 so far in the month of March.

Rebels forwards Ben King and Arshdeep Bains are 1-2 atop the Western Hockey League scoring race. Bains leads all WHL players with 94 points followed by King with 93. The last Rebels player to win the WHL scoring title was Justin Mapletoft in 2000-01.

King leads the league with 47 goals and is on pace to become the first Rebels player since Kyle Wanvig in 2000-21 to score 50 goals in a season. King also leads the league with 21 power play goals and 14 game winning tallies, leaving him just two shy of the WHL single season record of 16 (Brian Propp, Brandon, 1978-79). The Vernon, BC native is on a 13-game point streak.

Bains, a native of Surrey BC, signed an entry level contract on March 11 with the Vancouver Canucks, the team he grew up cheering for. Bains is currently on a six-game point streak.

The Rebels are hosting “Alumni Night, presented by ATB” for their home game Friday, April 8 vs. Lethbridge. All former Rebels players, coaches and staff are invited to attend. The Rebels will be wearing special jerseys to be auctioned off in support of the Rebels Foundation for Education and Wellness. More details regarding “Alumni Night, presented by ATB” will be announced soon.
