The Mooretown Flags have dug themselves a hole in their second round playoff series against Dresden.

The Flags are down 3-0 in the series after dropping a 4-3 decision last night to the Jr. Kings.

Joel Stepniak opened the scoring for Dresden at the 12:54 mark of the first. Mooretown managed to tie the game and even take the lead for a couple minutes in the second frame. Jordan Pennesi fired home a set-up by Raymond Martin to tie the game at ones. Pennesi's third of the playoffs was a power play goal.
Cody Chute gave the Flags a one goal lead. Alex Dawson picked up the assist.

Dresden's Joe Deboer scored just over a minute later to tie the game going into the third.
Scott Gawne put one past Flags starter Kyle Washer just 20 seconds in the the third to put Dresdn up.

Dan Hyatt scored near the mid-way point of the final frame to give the Kings a two goal lead.
Pennesi scored his second of the game with nine minutes left in the third but it wasn't enough.

Former LCCVI goalie Eric Steinman stopped 40 of the 43 shots he faced to post the victory for the Kings.
Washer stopped 41 of the 45 he faced in the loss.

The Flags will look to stave off elimination on Saturday at home when they host the Kings for Game 4.
