Red Deer Rebels News Release
TOUGH ROAD TRIP
The Rebels had a tough weekend suffering a pair of losses in Saskatchewan.
Goaltender Max Hildebrand was outstanding Friday night in backstopping the Prince Albert Raiders to a 2-1 win over the Rebels. Hildebrand finished with 32 saves on the night. Jace Isley scored Red Deer's lone goal on the night, his 20th tally of the season.
The following night in Saskatoon, the Rebels were forced to dress just 15 skaters in a 6-2 loss to the Blades. Newly acquired forward Ryker Singer was a bright spot for the Rebels as he scored his first two goals with his new team, both coming on the power play.
