The Prince Albert Raiders fell 4-2 to the Kootenay Ice on Saturday night at the Art Hauser Centre in front of a sell-out crowd.

The Raiders responded with an early power play goal from Mark McNeill. McNeill received a pass from Todd Fiddler from behind the net, walked out front and slid a shot past goaltender Nathan Lieuwen to get the Raiders within one.

Three minutes later the Ice would score a power play marker of their own and took a 3-1 lead into the third.

The Raiders would strike again on the power play in the third when ,from the high slot, Jonathan Parker one timed a Mark McNeill pass to make it a one goal game.
