One day after being held to one goal in a loss to Victoria Grizzlies, Powell River Kings found the back of the net five times in Duncan, but still fell short in a 6-5 loss to Cowichan Valley Capitals.
Cameron Symons, who was selected as the game’s second star, scored twice for the Kings on February 4, who trailed 3-2 after 20 minutes and 4-3 heading into the third period.
Casey Aman, Adam Mendleson and Dylan Hewlett also scored for the visitors. Symons’ second of the game briefly tied the game at 5-5 with 4:09 remaining on the clock, but the hosts beat Kings’ goaltender Liam Vanderkooi for the sixth time just 18 seconds later to secure the win.
Capitals outshot the Kings 40-34. Attendance at Cowichan Community Centre was 897.
