Rebels This Week: January 23-29
RETURN OF THE KING
It was a busy three-game weekend for the Red Deer Rebels highlighted by the return of the WHL’s reigning goal scoring champion!
Ben King returned to the lineup Friday night at the Peavey Mart Centrium after missing 31 games to a lower body injury. King scored in the third period of a wild 8-5 win over the visiting Prince George Cougars. Kai Uchacz had a career high five points (two goals, three assists). Jayden Grubbe tied his career high with four points (one goal, three assists). Mats Lindgren also equalled his career best with three points on the night.
Saturday night was a much different game as the Rebels had to work right to the end for a 2-1 come from behind overtime win over the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings. Grubbe tied the game with a power play goal with just over two minutes left in the third period. Kalan Lind then came through with the overtime winner.
