The River Kings would get their own pow- er play goal about three minutes later when captain Steve Simoes tipped one past Fran- cis Gourdeau. But the Kings got into more penalty trouble and were down two men for more than a minute and Sorel made them pay. They scored two power play markers -- one from Gregory Dupré, and the other from Dominic Chiasson to take a 4-2 lead into the third period. The third period was much of the same for a frustrated River Kings team which, de- spite a few scoring chances early, got into penalty trouble. Late in the game, still trailing by two goals, they took a few penalties that saw them down two men for the second time of the night. Eric Doucet made it 5-2 at 16:57 of the third to put the game out of reach for the River Kings.
