Matt Bellerive scored the winning goal late in the third period as the Red Deer Rebels edged the host Moose Jaw Warriors 2-1 on Friday in Western Hockey League action. Bellerive circled the Warriors net, found a shooting lane and picked the top corner on Moose Jaw goaltender Daniel Wapple with only 10.9 seconds on the clock for the game winner. "Going into every game, it doesnt matter if were down 1-0, we dont panic," said Bellerive. "We just know were going to win. We have that confidence right now." Tyson Ness also scored for the Rebels (19-11-2), who have won nine games in a row, and Patrik Bartosak stopped 25-of-26 shots for the victory. "We cant have that happen. Especially that late in the game," said Warriors captain Kendall McFaull about the winning goal. "We were 10 seconds away from a point. Were always going for two, but we could have at least had a point there." Justin Kirsch scored the lone goal for the Warriors (11-14-7), who have dropped back-to-back contests, while Daniel Wapple turned aside 32 shots in a losing cause. "Our problem was that we were up and down. We had a good first period and then we had a good shift, then a bad shift. You cant do that against teams like this," said McFaull. "We have to find ways to score. Were not going to win many games when we only score one goal." Neither club could score on the power play as Red Deer went 0 for 4 and Moose Jaw 0 for 3. Elsewhere in the WHL, it was: Spokane 5, Brandon 2; Calgary 5, Edmonton 2; Kootenay 3, Prince Albert 2; Medicine Hat 8, Lethbridge 7 (SO); Kamloops 3, Prince George 0; Tri-City 3, Portland 2; Swift Current 3 Vancouver 1 and Seattle 5, Everett 1. At Moose Jaw, Sask., Kirsch opened the scoring for the Warriors when he used his speed to get a breakaway before beating Bartosak with a backhand through the five-hole. "We got one and we didnt get another one. Its hard to win games 1-0," said Warriors head coach Mike Stothers. "We had some opportunities. Their goalie misplayed some rebounds and we werent quick enough to react to those rebounds. The bottom line is that its pretty tough to win if you only score one." The Rebels regrouped in the intermission and Rhyse Dieno nearly scored on a breakaway three seconds into the period. Wapple robbed Dieno twice and made a number of big saves in the second period to keep the Warriors in the game, however he could only do so much for so long. "(Wapple) was solid for us again," said McFaull. "We owe him. Thats a game we have to close out." Red Deer tied the game early in the third period when Ness beat Moose Jaw defenceman Morgan Rielly at the Warriors blue-line and came in on a two-on-one and scored on Wapple with a shot high to the blocker side. --- Chiefs 5 Wheat Kings 2 At Brandon, Mitch Holmberg had two goals and an assist and Garret Hughson stopped 30 shots as Spokane (22-7-1) extended its win streak to six games by downing the Wheat Kings (10-17-4), who have dropped seven in a row. --- Hitmen 5 Oil Kings 2 At Edmonton, Zane Jones scored twice in the third period, including the winner, and Chris Driedger made 34 saves as Calgary (19-6-3) downed the Oil Kings (18-7-5) for their third win in a row. --- Ice 3 Raiders 2 At Cranbrook, B.C., Mackenzie Skapski stopped 37-of-39 shots and Jaedon Descheneau had a goal and an assist as Kootenay (9-18-1) slipped past Prince Albert (20-10-2) to end a three-game winless streak. --- Tigers 8 Hurricanes 7 (SO) At Lethbridge, Alta., Jaimen Yakubowski scored five goals for the Hurricanes (15-14-5), however it wasnt enough as Hunter Shinkaruk scored twice in regulation and the shootout winner for Medicine Hat (14-16-2). --- Blazers 3 Cougars 0 At Kamloops, B.C., Cole Cheveldave stopped all 23 shots he faced and Brendan Ranford set up two goals, including Marek Hrbas winner, as the Blazers (23-7-3) blanked Prince George (10-15-4). --- Americans 3 Winterhawks 2 At Portland, Ore., Connor Rankin scored twice and set up one more and Luke Lee-Knight stopped 44 shots as Tri-City (18-11-2) ended the Winterhawks (23-5-1) seven-game winning streak. --- Broncos 3 Giants 1 At Vancouver, Levi Bews had a goal and an assist while Eetu Laurikainen turned aside 28 shots as Swift Current (13-15-5) beat the Giants (8-21-0), who sit last in the WHL standings. --- Thunderbirds 5 Silvertips 1 At Everett, Wash., Brandon Glover made 33 saves, but Tyler Sandhu ruined his shutout bid with seven seconds remaining in the game as Seattle (16-13-1) defeated the Silvertips (11-20-2) for its fourth straight victory.

The NHL and NHL Players Association are scheduled to kick off formal talks on a new collective bargaining agreement in New York on Friday, according to multiple sources. Anxious fans have been waiting months for the two sides to open negotiations on a deal that is set to expire Sept. 15. Despite the fact a season was lost the last time they went to the bargaining table, there has been a slight hint of optimism in the air at the NHLPAs executive board meetings this week. "We have a few months ahead here to reach a deal and thats our goal," New York Islanders star John Tavares said Tuesday. In all, the union has gathered 53 players together for three days of comprehensive meetings before talks open. They were split into three breakout groups on Tuesday afternoon and combed over a number of topics expected to be raised during CBA discussions -- everything from desired changes to the current financial system to player safety and on-ice issues. More than half of the players who travelled to Chicago lived through the 2004-05 lockout and theyve gone out of their way to talk about the experience with younger union members. "You know what, they did what they felt was right," said Vancouver Canucks goalie Cory Schneider, who was in college at the time. "They didnt feel they had a deal that was fair to them and they made the ultimate sacrifice. "I think were in a better place now from a players standpoint than we would have been than if they had caved and accepted the deal presented and tried to play the rest of that year." There is hope that the past wont have to be repeated to get something done this time. Under the current CBA, the NHL has seen its revenues grow from US$2.1 billion annually to roughly $3.3 billion. And theres very little to suggest that the trend wont continue. "The leagues doing really well," said St. Louis Blues forward David Backes. "Theres been increased revenues -- record revenues -- every year. Its on a track that seems like almost exponential growth, to halt that would be a shame on both sides. "Were looking for something thats fair, were not looking to clean house." At this point, its still a little unclear exactly where the major battle lines will be drawn. The NHL is expected to try and lower the players take of overall league revenue from its current position of 57 per cent while the union will attempt to redesign the revenue-sharing system so that the wealthy teams are required to do a better job of supporting those that are struggling.dddddddddddd Undoubtedly, a number of other significant issues will also arise. The sides appear to be entering talks with the hope of keeping them as quiet as possible. In fact, neither would even confirm Tuesday that theyre set to finally sit down together -- even with the scheduled session just days away. The NHLPA is expected to unveil a negotiating team of more than 30 players when the executive board meetings wrap up Wednesday. Having a group that large at the table is one of many changes Donald Fehr has made since taking over the union in December 2010. His presence and approach has been a breath of fresh air for long-time members. "Its like weve been taught again what the definition of collective bargaining is and why there are unions and why people collectively bargain," said Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Steve Montador. "Its been a great reset." A number of young players are taking an interest in the process. Not only is the 21-year-old Tavares a budding star in the league, but hes also the Islanders union representative and the youngest player to show up in Chicago this week. Veteran teammates Doug Weight, Marty Reasoner and Rick DiPietro have preached to him about the importance of getting involved during his three years in the NHL. Hes trying to stay positive as the union gets set to embark on another round of negotiations. "You never ever want to miss a day, let alone miss a whole season," said Tavares. "Its something that would be really hard to even think about." For those whove already dealt with it once, its not something that can be easily forgotten. The wounds are still a little fresh for some players even though seven years have passed since the lockout. "Looking back on it, we made a lot of huge concessions -- losing a season not to mention (the deal itself)," said veteran Blackhawks forward Jamal Mayers. "The fact is the leagues seen seven years of revenue growth. At the end of the day, were going to have to come to an agreement." ' ' '
