Red Deer Rebels beat Lethbridge Hurricanes 4:1 in a WHL match on Thursday. The away side took all three points at the host arena.
Red Deer had lost two straight to Calgary Hitmen 2:3 on Wednesday and Tuesday before this game. They turned that momentum around by punishing Lethbridge from open play. The visitors found space where the home defence had not been looking.
There are no period-by-period details available for this fixture. What stands out is the shift in Red Deer's output after back-to-back defeats. They threw everything at Lethbridge and got their reward.
Both sides sit at the bottom of the WHL table with no games officially recorded and no points on the board. The season is in its opening phase and the standings carry no weight yet.
Red Deer's recent results show mixed form going back to April, with wins and losses against Prince Albert Raiders. The Hurricanes have been involved in high-scoring affairs, losing three of their last five matches by at least two goals.
