Calgary's shooters did their part Friday night at the Saddledome, but nothing beat Rhett Stroesser, as the Red Deer Rebels blanked the Hitmen 3-0.
Stroesser stopped all 40 shots the Hitmen poured at him, while Carson Latimer scored twice for the Rebels and Talon Brigley added an empty-netter to give the Rebels the victory.
Calgary outshot Red Deer 40-30.
The two squads meet again Saturday night for a Red Deer rematch at Peavey Mart Centrium. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m.
