Burnaby’s vaunted power play was stymied by Maple Ridge in Game 2 of the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal on Saturday.
The senior A Lakers scored on just two of 13 power-play opportunities in a dismal 11-4 loss in Game 2 of the best-of-seven playoff series against the Burrards in Maple Ridge.
Burnaby tied the game 3-3 on a goal by Dane Stevens early in the second half, but little went right after that.
The Burrards responded with eight goals, including five in the middle frame, to even the series at one game apiece.
Game 3 is scheduled for Monday night at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre at 7:45 p.m. Game 4 is back in Maple Ridge on Tuesday.
Dan Lewis took the loss in the Burnaby goal, stopping just 21 of 32 shots on goal. Frankie Scigliano stopped 27 of 31 Laker shots.
Riley Loewen of Burnaby was the game’s second star, scoring two times in a five-point night. Jarret Davis garnered seven points for the winners, including a pair of Maple Ridge markers. Stevens led the Lakers with three points.
The game was marred by penalties with more than 275 minutes doled out to both teams, including a total of 12 fighting majors in the third period.
