Calgary expanded their lead to 2-0 at the 4:14 mark of period two on a goal Anders would love to have back. Tyson Galloway had the puck deep in his own end for Calgary when his long stretch pass missed the mark, bounced off the boards, trickled all the way towards the Rebels net and past Anders for a goal from 200 feet away. For Gallaway it was his first career WHL goal.
Neither team found the back of the net in the third period as Peters would turn aside all 27 Rebels shots on goal to earn the victory for the Hitmen and his first WHL shutout.

The Medicine Hat Tigers capped off an opening weekend sweep of the Red Deer Rebels with a 7-2 triumph Saturday night at the Co-op Centre in Medicine Hat.
The Tigers pounced early and often as they stormed out to a 4-0 first period lead. Cole Clayton started things off as his wrist shot from the point just 36 seconds into the game handcuffed Bryon Fancy, who got the start in net for Red Deer, for a 1-0 lead.
It was 2-0 just under two minutes later after Ryan Chyzowski beat Fancy for a power play tally at the 3:34 mark.
Lukas Svejkovsky made it 3-0 with his second goal of the season at 12:11. Oasiz Weisblatt made it 4-0 when he forced a turnover before beating Fancy high to the short side for his first WHL goal. That spelled the end of the night for Fancy as he was replaced between the pipes by Ethan Anders after allowing four goals on 12 shots.
