The Battlefords AAA Sharks maybe deserved a better result after Tuesday's game at the Battlefords Arena, as they hosted the Prince Albert Bears in Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League action.
The Sharks played a solid 60 minutes, but couldn't beat Prince Albert goalie Jessica Vance on their 23 shots. The Sharks were shut out 3-0.
The Bears scored an even strength goal in the first period, a power play goal with three second left in the second period and an empty net goal with 40 seconds left in the third period to secure their 17th win of the season.
Prince Albert was 1/6 with the man advantage while the Sharks were 0/2.
Jacy Akre made 41 saves in the Sharks' net.
The last three times the eighth place Sharks faced the third place Bears resulted in close games and perhaps confidence boosters for the Sharks. The last two games were three-goal losses while they beat the Bears 3-2 in a shootout in early December.
The Sharks have five regular season games remaining and a scoreless streak hanging over their heads that they will look to snap Tuesday when they host Saskatoon at 6:30 p.m.
