Rebels fall 3-2 to Oil Kings
The Red Deer Rebels failed to move closer to clinching a WHL playoff spot Tuesday night as they fell 3-2 at the Westerner Park Centrium to the Central Division leading Edmonton Oil Kings.
Trey Fix-Wolansky opened the scoring for Edmonton 12 minutes into the game when he ripped his 37th goal of the season past Rebels goalie Ethan Anders.
Red Deer tied the game at the 16:15 mark when Dawson Barteaux unleashed a one timer from the blue line for a 5-on-3 power play goal, Barteaux’s seventh goal of the year.
Neither team scored in the middle period, but it wasn’t from a lack of effort from the Oil Kings who outshot the Rebels 17-3 in the middle frame.
