That did not bode well for the Spirit, who are battling the Hurricanes for what could be the final playoff spot in the league's North-East Conference, as they came out on the short end of a 2-1 decision. Newmarket held a 2-0 lead into the third period when the Spirit pelted Hurricanes' netminder Jophrey Gregoire with 19 shots. They were rewarded just over 12 minutes in on a goal by Tyson Bruce. But the Spirit could get no closer. The loss by the Spirit snapped a twogame winning streak and put them two points behind the Hurricanes.

GENERALLY SPEAKING: "It was a tough one," said Spirit head coach Jeff Perrin of his club's setback against the Hurricanes. "It was the same story, we played well defensively but we couldn't score. Newmarket's goaltending is suspect and most of the shots we took weren't good ones. Most of them were right at (Gregoire). "But we didn't start playing well until the third period. For a game like that, where we're battling for a playoff spot and it was probably to date our biggest game of the season, that's disappointing. "If we played a full 60 minutes I thought we could have won. At least we get to play them one more time." Tonight's opponent, the North Divisionleading Aurora Tigers, are ranked seventh by the Canadian Junior Hockey League. "We might be playing the best team in the league. They're a veteran team with a deep lineup. For us to win, we need a few breaks and we have to stay out of the penalty box and get some hot goaltending," Perrin said. ­ Michael Hayakawa STAFF PHOTO/SUSIE KOCKERSCHEIDT Stouffville Spirit forward Peyton Backus eyes the puck as Newmarket Hurricane Curtis Harvey skates by during the Canes 2-1 win Tuesday.
