The first came near the midway point of the period; Raiders forward Ben Harvey scored to tie the game, assisted by Jonah Sivertson.

Harvey then potted his second of the game with less than four minutes left to take a 2-1 lead.

In the third period, the Raiders put the game out of reach with a goal from Brandon Gorzynski within the final 10 minutes, followed by an empty-netter from Alisher Sarkenov.

The Raiders ultimately outshot the Rebels 38-26.

In special teams play, both squads failed to score on the power play, with Red Deer finishing 0-for-2 and Prince Albert 0-for-4.

Next up, the Rebels will head to Saskatoon to take on the Blades on Friday night before facing the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday at 6 p.m.
