Rebels losing skid now six
The Red Deer Rebels losing streak now stands at six straight games after a 5-2 loss to the Rockets in Kelowna Saturday night.
It was the team’s fourth game of their seven-game road trip this month, with victories a little hard to come by so far.
The first period saw the hometown Rockets get on the board first with a power play goal from Dillon Dube at 1:54 after a slashing penalty to the Rebels Alexander Alexeyev to put Kelowna up 1-0. It was Dube’s eighth goal of the season.
The Rockets followed that up three minutes later when Liam Kindree scored his second of the year, a power play marker at 4:56 after a Chris Douglas cross checking penalty to put Kelowna up 2-0. The Rebels responded two minutes later when Jared Dmytriw scored his sixth of the year at 6:58 to close Kelowna’s lead to 2-1.
