Mini streak is over

The three-game win streak is over as the Royals dropped a tough one to Elmira, 3-2. A bad turnover while on the PP led to a breakaway game winner. Generally, a tough, physical game that seemed to stir some of the bad blood between these teams from last year.

Royals got off to a quick 1-0 lead before falling behind 2-1. Kirk MacDonald tied it at 2 in the second, but the turnover about three minutes later proved to be the game winner. The Royals pulled Michael Ouzas with about a minute to play, but failed to tie it up, including on a last-second shot off the faceoff in the Jackals' zone.

Next up: All Star skills competition Tuesday and the All Star game Wednesday. The Royals are off until Saturday, when Wheeling returns to town.
