Kings 2 Dogs 1

A much better effort for the Dogs, unfortunately it came against a much better opponent (with no disrespect intended to Cowichan) and ended up in their third straight loss.

Frank Slubowski was the player of the game as he came up with big saves to keep the Dogs in it.

The Kings opened the scoring when they took a 1-0 lead with seven minutes left in the second period on a Scott Renner tally.

It was 2-0 with eleven minutes to go in the third on a Carter Shinkaruk goal and it looked like it was over at that point. Big credit to the Dogs as they made a game of it when Casey Bailey scored to make it 2-1 with eight minutes and change to play in the third, but that would be as close as the Dogs would get.

The power play was a let down tonight, as not only did they not score, but they did little to generate chances and momentum. Credit to the leagues #1 penalty kill for being just that, but at the same time the Dogs weren't urgent enough.

Next up, a two-ferry trip to the Lower Mainland for a meeting with the Langley Chiefs, pregame 6:45 tomorrow on 93.3 The Peak.
