The Red Deer Rebels have clawed their way back to that elusive .500 mark. Entering the weekend at 4-6, Red Deer managed to keep the win streak going, and now sit at 6-6 this season, fourth in the Central Division, and eighth in the conference. Here's the summary from Saturday night, a 3-2 win over the Chilliwack Bruins.
1. R.D Ferguson, (4) (Redmond, Bell), 9:36 (PP)

-Brett Ferguson is enjoying the finest stretch of his WHL career, as he scored five points over the weekend, and has already eclipsed last year's goal total.
-With an assist, Willie Coetzee extended his point streak to seven games. He has 17 points (6g 11a) over that span.
-He took about 10 games to get going, but this weekend was the Darcy Kuemper we're used to seeing. Back to back 34-save performances, and three-star selections both nights.
-Red Deer returns to action Tuesday night as they play host to the Calgary Hitmen - 7 p.m. (Enmax Centrium) I'll have the pregame show at 6:30 (http://www.1067thedrive.fm/)

Some Monday Reading:
Caroline, AB's Kris Russell, a former Medicine Hat Tiger, inked a three-year contract extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets. I really believe we are very close to see Russell fully breaking out at the NHL level and turning into the point producer he was in Junior.
