The Langley Knights gave the Grandview Steelers all they could handle, but came up one goal short.
The junior B hockey club lost 3-2 on Sunday afternoon at the Burnaby Winter Club to the lone unbeaten team in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.
The win was the Steelers’ eighth victory in as many tries while Langley lost for the seventh straight game to fall to 1-7-0-1.
The Knights were up 2-0 after one period on a pair of power play goals from Nicolas Bizzuto.
But the Steelers tied the game early in the third and then won it with a late man-advantage goal themselves.
Langley also lost 5-3 to the Abbotsford Pilots last week (Oct. 1) at the George Preston Recreation Centre.
The game was tied at three after 30 minutes before the Pilots struck for a pair in the final frame.
Brendan Campbell scored twice while Lincoln Lane had the other goal for Langley.
Langley will look to snap their skid as they host the Ridge Meadows Flames at the Preston Centre tomorrow (Thursday).
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
