The Red Deer Rebels dropped their preseason opener to the Calgary Hitmen on Friday night.
Tied 2-2 at the Seven Chiefs Sportsplex in the third period, Hitmen forward Julien Maze scored with 1:15 remaining in the game to give his team the lead and eventually the 3-2 win.
Maze also scored the opening goal just 22 seconds into the first period, but Rebels forward Luke Jamieson found the equalizer over eight minutes later.
Calgary’s Teague McGlynn then gave the Hitmen a 2-1 lead later in the opening frame.
