There were just a few penalties in the second period but no goals for either side. The Rebels again slightly outshot the Hurricanes 9-6.

The final period turned the game around, but not in favor of the Rebels. Major fighting penalties were given to Lethbridge’s Tyson Zimmer and Red Deer’s Quentin Bourne; however, the visiting team’s Evan Smith was also given a penalty for goalie interference. The Hurricanes capitalized on the power play opportunity with Trae Wilke scoring at 14:32. The Rebels were now behind 2-1.

Shortly after the Rebels pulled out netminder Kyle Kelsey at 16:53, Lethbridge’s Miguel Marques was given a roughing penalty along with Red Deer’s Jhett Larson and Lind, the latter also given a roughing penalty. Also at 17:22, the Hurricanes’ Brayden Edwards scored an empty netter, bringing the team to a 3-1 lead.

With Red Deer’s goaltender Kelsey back in the net and Lethbridge still at a man advantage, Edwards scored again at 18:18, earning the team a 4-1 win.

The Hurricanes outshot the Rebels 15-9 in the third period.

The Rebels are 4-4-0-1 so far this season, with the Hurricanes at 7-4-1-0.
