The Rockets notched four points in three games this past weekend as 91大黄鸭 concluded the weekend with a 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Giants Sunday night.

In their third three straight game, the Rockets got caught down a goal early into the game and didn鈥檛 have enough fuel in the tank to mount the comeback as the Giants consistently swarmed 91大黄鸭 and held the Rockets to 0-4 on the power-play.

鈥淚t was a special teams night,鈥� said Rockets coach Adam Foote. 鈥淚 think we just got out worked. (Fatigue after the three-game stretch) was probably always in play. Maybe that was the difference, but we can鈥檛 have excuses. Everyone has to play those three-in-three (sets), it鈥檚 part of the game.鈥�

While the Rockets were 0-4 on the power-play, the Giants were successful on two of their own power-plays, securing the revenge win after 91大黄鸭 defeated Vancouver in overtime on Saturday night.

The Giants built a 3-0 lead in the rare Sunday night game before 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Alex Swetlikoff snuck one past Vancouver goalie David Tendeck to break the Giants shut-out.

On the other side, 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Roman Basran made 19 saves and made some big saves to keep the Giants to only three goals.

91大黄鸭 captain Nolan Foote remains out week-to-week with an injury.

The Rockets take the week off and return to home ice Jan. 31 to host the Spokane Chiefs.
