Rebels beat Hitmen in Calgary
The Red Deer Rebels have got that winning feeling once again after earning two points against the Calgary Hitmen on Sunday.
After losing 2-1 on home ice to Lethbridge on Saturday — which snapped a four-game win streak — the Rebels were looking to leapfrog back up the Central Division standings from the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
In the first period, Brandon Hagel continued his torrid pace as one of the WHL’s top-5 point-getters. The Morinville, AB native scored his 27th of the season and shorthanded to boot just 1:49 in.
Then, at 14:59, the Rebels dug the Hitmen’s hole deeper with Alex Morozoff getting his 8th of the year.
