The Red Deer Rebels have faced challenges during their recent road trip in the U.S.
On Monday night, they were defeated 6-1 by the Everett Silvertips.
The lone bright spot for Red Deer was their captain, Ollie Josephson, who managed to score a shorthanded goal late in the first period, briefly tying the game at 1-1. However, Everett responded with a dominant performance, scoring five consecutive goals for the win. Among Everett’s scorers was the young star defenceman, 15-year-old Landon DuPont, who scored once, and Carter Bear, who netted two. Over the course of their three-game U.S. tour, the Rebels have been significantly outscored, with a goal differential of 18-5 against them.
Carter Bear scores on the Power Play to make it a 1-0 game for the Silvertips at 8:29 of the first period. Assists on the goal went to their Euro Imports in Finn and Seattle Kraken draft pick Julius Miettinen and Czech Dominik Rymon.
Ollie Josephson scored his 5th goal of the season unassisted while shorthanded to tie the game at one apiece at 18:45 of the first period. One has to think that his future employers are probably in the stands watching that.
