On this night, the win looked to be in doubt early as the hometown Tigers got off to a great start.

Cayden Lindstrom (3rd) scored at 6:25 of the first, which was followed by another by Lindstrom (4th) just two minutes and 32 seconds later.

Just 4:46 into the second, King (5th) tied things up, Kalan Lind and Jhett Larson assisting.

After 40 minutes, the game was tied at two goals apiece.

In the final period, it was all Red Deer on the scoresheet.

Matteo Fabrizi (2nd), with Jace Weir and Craig Armstrong getting helpers, scored the eventual game-winner at 4:45.

Talon Brigley (1st) got the insurance marker, with Frantisek Formanek and Ollie Josephson assisting, at 9:32.

Between the pipes, the Rebels’ Kyle Kelsey stopped 19 of 21 shots for his eighth win of the young season. Kelsey now sports an impressive 1.87 GAA and .936 SV%, stopping 221 of 236 shots in his eight victories. They also include one shutout.

Red Deer outshot Med Hat 29-21, and went 1/4 with the man advantage. The Tigers were held scoreless on five power play opportunities.
