Dundee Stars 2-1 Hull Stingrays (PS)
The Hull Stingrays were once again narrowly defeated by Gardiner Conference rivals the Dundee Stars on Sunday night, going down 2-1 on penalty shots for the third time in three shootout attempts.
Sylvain Cloutier's side took the lead through Jereme Tendler's seventh goal of the year, only for the Stars to hit back through Doug Krantz in a second period which the peppered Ben Bowns in the Rays goal with 17 shots.
Bowns would go on to save 42 of 43 shots as the game went into penalty shots - where the Rays fell for the third time in three games thanks to Sami Ryhanen and Mike Wirll goals.
The Rays have now lost all three of their meetings with Dundee by two goals or less, with the only two goal winning margin thanks to an empty net goal from Ryhanen a little over a week ago at home.
More concerning perhaps is that their record in the Gardiner Conference now drops to 1 win, 2 regulation time losses and three shootout losses in six games - with the only success coming at home by way of a 6-3 win at home over the Edinburgh Capitals in their last victory on 22nd September.
