The Red Deer Rebels couldn't build on a good start Wednesday night in Brandon, as they fell 7-2 against the Wheat Kings at Westoba Place.
Jhett Larson opened the scoring for the Rebels snapping a quick wrist shot from the top of the circle past Brandon netminder Carson Bjarnason.
The Wheat Kings responded 11 seconds later, however, when Luke Shipley found the back of the net.
The Rebels' power play would put Red Deer back on top as NIshaan Parmer fed Ty Coupland with a one-timer from the left side.
Brandon tied it up with under two minutes left in the first when Jaxon Jacobson picked the top corner to beat Rebels goalie Chase Wutzke.
It was all Brandon from that point on as the Wheat Kings scored five unanswered including a pair of power play markers.
The Wheat Kings outshot Red Deer 38-31. The Rebels ended the night 1-for-3 on the power play, while Brandon went 2-for-4.
Red Deer has now lost 15 of its last 16 games sitting with a 16-25-4-2 record overall.
The Rebels continue their three-game eastern road trip Friday in Regina against the Pats. Puck drop is at 6 p.m.
