91原创 Trappers winning streak ended at eight on Friday, Dec. 3, a 5-3 defeat at the hands of Ridge Meadows Flames at Cam Neely Arena Planet Ice.

Hayden Yahn scored twice in a losing effort, as the Trappers could not catch up with the Flames, who took the lead early on, scoring twice in the first period and twice in the second before 91原创 scored, with goals by Lleyton Shearon and Yahn.

That reduced the Flames lead to 4-2, but in the third, Ridge Meadows scored again.

Yahn responded with his second goal for the Trappers, but it would be the last by either team.

It鈥檚 been a while since the Trappers lost a game.

The last time was Nov. 6, to PJHL league leader North Vancouver, after which the 91原创 team went on a tear, beginning with a 7-5 win over crosstown rivals Aldergrove Kodiaks, and going on to defeat Chilliwack, Port Moody, Ridge Meadows, Surrey and Abbotsford, some more than once.

It was a back-and-forth game, with the Pilots striking first, Jesse Jablonski with an assist by Denver Kitt.

Less than a minute later, Mason Brown replied for the Kodiaks, with Callum MacDonald and Linden Storebo assisting.

Late in the first, Pilots regained the lead off a goal by Asher Braski, with Hunter Brown and Dalton Edwards.

With seconds remaining in the period, Carson Preston scored for Aldergrove on a power play after Pilots鈥� Braski went to the box for holding. Trevor Baron and Justin Ralph had the assist.

In the third, with Pilots mounting a power play after Kale Taylor was sent off for unsportsmanlike conduct, Kodiaks pulled their goaltender, which saw Pilots Monty Moreau get his second of the night, an empty net insurance marker to end the game.

Kodiaks GM Rick Harkins said the team needs to take fewer penalties to avoid being on the wrong side of a power play.

鈥淲hen we play five-on-five, we can compete with any team in the league,鈥� Harkins commented

鈥淥ur problem is, being young guys, when someone slashes you, and the referee doesn鈥檛 see it, you want to retaliate,鈥� Harkins said.

鈥淭hen they [the referees] see the retaliation.鈥�

Instead of responding in kind, he wants the players to focus on scoring.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 how you retaliate, by putting a digit up on the board,鈥� Harkins told the 91原创 Advance Times.

Up next, Kodiaks will take another run at Abbotsford Wednesday, Dec. 8 on home ice at ACUCC. Puck drops at 7:15 p.m.
