Red Deer Rebels News Release

The Rebels welcomed the Warriors to the Enmax Centrium looking to avenge a 3-0 loss in Moose Jaw on October 2.

Conner Bleackley set up the 1-0 goal, extending his point streak to five games, along with Grayson Pawlenchuk.

SECOND PERIOD

The Warriors netted a shorthanded goal to nod this game at 1-1. Jaimen Yakubowski pulled off a beautiful toe drag before sliding a pass over to Kolten Olynek who beat Rylan Toth for his first goal of the year at the 2:55 mark.

Red Deer regained the lead at 8:13 when Bleackley fired one through the five hole of Justin Paulic for his third of the year. Jef de Wit picked up the lone assist on the 2-1 goal.

For the second straight night, Evan Polei benefitted from a great Adam Musil pass. This time it ended with his 5th goal of the season. Austin Strand earned the second assist on the 3-1 goal at 13:33.

The Rebels went up 4-1 at 17:31 as Meyer Nell tipped home a slick Kayle Doetzel slap pass for his 3rd of the year. Austin Strand collected the second assist.

THIRD PERIOD
