Rebels power play falters in shutout loss to Vancouver
The return from their two-week Christmas break was anything but joyous for the Red Deer Rebels.
On a night when their power play sputtered going 0-for-6, the Rebels were flattened 6-0 by the visiting Vancouver Giants at the Enmax Centrium Friday night.
It’s the first time the Rebels have been shutout in 33 games this season.
“Too perimeter, not enough guys wanting to be around the net and battling,” Rebels Gm/head coach Brent Sutter said about his team’s powerless power play. “We all wanted to be deflectors or shooters or whatever, but we never showed enough assertiveness to be able to capitalize on the power play.”
