Ryan Nugent-Hopkins would continue his hot play, scoring his teams first 2 goals. Brett Ferguson would add an empty netter with 1:10 remaining to run the score to 3-1. Cam Abney scored Edmonton’s only goal of the evening..
By allowing only one goal to the Oil Kings, the Rebels set a franchise record for goals against in a season. The previous mark was 160, and the record now stands at 159
