Rebels close out preseason tournament with overtime loss to Calgary
The Red Deer Rebels wrapped up their two day Preseason Tournament Saturday night with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Calgary Hitmen.
It was a tight game on the scoreboard but Rebels netminder Ethan Anders kept it close as the Hitmen outshot Red Deer 43-27 by the end of the night.
The first period saw Calgary open the scoring when Riley Fiddler-Schultz beat Anders on a wrap-around at 7:38 to earn his first goal of the preseason and make it 1-0 for the visitors.
The Rebels responded with a goal of their own several minutes later however when Alexander Alexeyev potted his first goal of the pre-season, shooting from the high slot and beating Hitmen goalie Matthew Armitage low glove-side at 18:49 on the power play to tie it up at 1-1 after 20 minutes.
