Rebels Lose To Rampage

The Rebels lost to the Rampage 5-1 in a fairly one sided affair. The Rebels only managed a handful of shots against the Rampage netminder while Nestor faced shot after shot. He made a ton of great saves but could only stop so many from the barrage sent his way. Devin was able to get the lone goal off a point shot that handcuffed the goalie. It was once again another penalty filled night with with the Rebels sitting in the box for a total of 22 minutes. This now places the Rebels at the top of their division for most penalty minutes and 5th out of the 154 teams in the entire league.
