The Grandview Steelers were batting 0.500 at the halfway mark of the Pacific Junior Hockey League.
The Burnaby-based junior B club squandered leads in the first and second periods before falling 4-3 to the last-place North Vancouver Wolf Pack at home on Dec. 16.
Second star Vik Sanghera gave Grandview a 1-0 lead after the opening period and a 2-1 advantage on a power play late in the middle frame, but neither lead held up.
North Van tallied two early second-period counters to tie things up. The Pack then got the game-tying marker from Marcus Houck from Jivan Sidhu and Quin Buckfellew later in the period.
Christian Stephenson got the game-winner on the man advantage midway through the final frame.
On Friday, the Steelers let a 4-1 lead slip through their fingers in Maple Ridge.
