The Dryden GM Ice Dogs offense skated with the Toronto Patriots for the first 20 minutes and then penalties took over in a 5-0 loss Wednesday at the Dudley Hewitt Cup.
The game was scoreless after one but the Patriots then capatalized with four goals on 10 powerplay opportunities.
Dryden GM was outshot 49-22.
The Ice Dogs now need a Soo Thunderbirds win tonight in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.
