In the midst of a three in three weekend, the IceDogs were shut-out 3-0 in Mississauga. David Bell's team kept the game scoreless until the 3:59 mark of the third.
A power-play with a second left in the "kill" made it 2-0 and an empty-netter concluded the scoring.
It was a tight checking, physicall affair with scoring chances at a premium. Playing a rested Steelheads team, the visitors were unable to get their skating legs going.
Next up, Kingston and a New Year's Eve matchup with the Frontenacs. 610 CKTB was the pre-game show underway at 5:30.
