Steelers erase Knights lead, keep Langley winless away from home

Langley Knights see three-goal lead slip away as they fall 6-5 to Grandview Steelers

A three-goal lead after one period was not enough for the Langley Knights to earn their first road victory of the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

The Knights squandered a 3-0 lead as the host Grandview Steelers scored five times in the middle frame on their way to a 6-5 victory on Sunday afternoon at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Langley fell to 3-3-0-0 on the season while Grandview improved to 5-2-0-0.

All three wins have come at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

Blake Gorrill, Tristan Craighead, Colin Catchpole, Jayden Gill and Carson Rose had the Langley goals.

The Knights were coming off an 11-4 home-ice victory over the Port Moody Panthers on Sept. 25.

The Knights will look to keep their perfect home record intact as they host the Ridge Meadows Flames on Thursday (Oct. 2) at the Preston Centre.
