In a thrilling rematch at the Temple Gardens Centre, the Red Deer Rebels pushed the Western Hockey League’s highest-scoring Moose Jaw Warriors shot-for-shot, salvaging a crucial point in a 5-4 shootout loss after a heated 6-4 defeat just 11 days prior. The Rebels’ gritty fourth line shone brightest, with Ty Coupland, Arjun Bawa, and Noah Milford each tallying a goal and assist—including Milford and Keith McInnis scoring in regulation—despite going 0-for-2 on the power play and outshooting the hosts 42-26. For the Warriors, Lynden Lakovic netted a pair of goals, Pavel McKenzie dished two assists, Ethan Semeniuk and Landen McFadden added singles, and Riley Thorpe sealed it in the fourth shootout round, converting 2-of-5 power-play chances while netminder Matthew Hutchison turned aside 38 shots; the win lifts Moose Jaw to 6-5-1-0 as Red Deer slips to 2-8-0-1.

Time of the goal was 2:21 of the second frame–the Rebels got things going early in the second when Arjun Bawa made a key interception at the Rebels’ blue line, allowing Ty Coupland to scoop up the loose puck in the neutral zone, go in alone and beat Matthew Hutchison with a slick backhand deke to put the Rebels on the board.
