The Red Deer Rebels woes south of the border continued Tuesday night as the team is now winless in four after a 3-2 shootout loss in Seattle.
The Rebels took a 2-0 lead into the third period on goals by Beckett Hamilton and Ollie Josephson.
However, the Thunderbirds stormed back in the final frame with a pair of goals by Braeden Cootes, one on the power play and one short-handed. Cootes would add another tally in the shootout to help seal the victory.
Both teams had 31 shots on net.
Red Deer went 0-for-4 on the power play, while Seattle was 1-for-7.
With the loss, Red Deer drops to 9-8-1-1 on the season, leaving them sixth in the WHL Eastern Conference with 20 points.
Next up, the Rebels are in Portland on Friday to battle the Winterhawks (8:05 p.m.). Red Deer will wrap up its six-game U.S. road trip Saturday night in Spokane.
