The Rebels were dealt a pair of agonizingly heartbreaking losses last weekend at the Marchant Crane Centrium.

On Friday, a goal with 27 seconds left in regulation was the difference as the Portland Winterhawks edged the Rebels 3-1. Landon MacSwain scored the lone Rebels goal in the final seconds of period two - his second goal in as many games. Chase Wutzke made 25 saves on the night.

Then on Saturday, it was a third period penalty shot goal that helped the Spokane Chiefs sneak past the Rebels 3-2. MacSwain ran his goal streak to three games while Talon Brigley scored in the game's final minute for his 100th career point. Wutzke made 18 saves. Red Deer outshot Spokane 24-21 and was 2-for-6 on the power play while the Chiefs were 0-for-2.

This Week

It's one of the busiest weeks of the season as the Rebels play four games in five nights starting Tuesday in Moose Jaw. The Rebels will be seeking revenge from a 6-4 loss to the Warriors in a heated game at the Marchant Crane Centrium on October 10. Then Wednesday, the Rebels take on the Swift Current Broncos for the first time this season.

Following that, the Rebels have home games at the Marchant Crane Centrium on Friday versus the Regina Pats (7 p.m.) and Saturday against the Calgary Hitmen (6 p.m.) marking the first time the Rebels have played either team this season.

Tickets for all Rebels home games can be purchased at ticketsalberta.com. Every Rebels game - home and away - is broadcast exclusively 106.7 REWIND Radio and Victory+.
