The Melville Millionaires dropped their second straight on Friday night losing 3-1 to the Flin Flon Bombers in their first of two games at the Whitney Forum.
The Bombers got two goals including the empty netter late from Ryder Ringor to lead the way while newcomer Kyle Marsden scored the other.
Brendan Olson got the Moneymen on the board just 4:48 into the third period but that’s as close as they would get.
Matthew Kieper kept his perfect record intact in net making 29 saves on 30 shots while Mils netminder Taylor Tabashniuk stopped 35 shots in the losing cause.
The two teams do battle again on Saturday.
