Rebels fall out of playoff picture after loss to Edmonton
A loss Friday night for the Red Deer Rebels suffered at the hands of the Edmonton Oil Kings means central Alberta’s team is looking at the playoff picture from the outside for the first time in quite a while.
Red Deer has been at or close to the top of the Central Division for months, but is now two points back of Brandon and three of Calgary for one of two wild card spots.
All of this thanks to a 2-1 defeat at Rogers Place to the division leading Oil Kings.
Edmonton got on the board first at the 8:56 mark of the opening frame, Scott Atkinson potting his 10th of the season.
