Their lead, however, was short-lived as the Warriors tied it 16 seconds later off the stick of Brady Ness.

Andersen then restored the Rebels’ lead on the offensive rush shortly after a Warriors power play ended. He scored on a perfect shot 7:14 into the opening frame, assisted by Madill.

Moose Jaw found the equalizer midway through the period, scored by Luke Moroz.

In the second period, Andersen completed the hat trick with two goals to give the team a 4-2 lead.

His first came with under six minutes left in the period while on the man advantage. He knocked in the puck from the left side of the net after a nifty pass from Hamilton.

Seeing double… again!

In the third period, the Warriors nearly got back into the game but hit the crossbar twice. Instead, Andersen scored an empty-net goal to seal the deal late in the frame.

Hamilton and Andersen now lead the entire Western Hockey League in goals and points. Andersen has seven goals and 14 points, while Hamilton has five goals and 11 points.

Red Deer also remains at the top of the Eastern Conference standings with a 4-2-0-1 record.
