Special teams did in the 91Ô´´ 91Ô´´ in the team's home opener.
The 91Ô´´ allowed three power-play goals, plus another short-handed, as they fell 5-2 to the Surrey Eagles on Saturday night at the 91Ô´´ Events Centre.
The Eagles other goal came into an empty net.
And while Surrey's power play was clicking — it went 3-for-8 — the 91Ô´´ managed just one man-advantage goal in their eight tries.
The 91Ô´´ did win the season opener between the two junior A hockey clubs thanks to Mario Puskarich's second goal of the game, during three-on-three overtime, to win 3-2.
Mike Tebbutt and Puskarich had scored power-play goals two minutes apart in the second period.
