The 鶹ѡ Rockets’ hot streak went cold Wednesday night with a 3-1 loss to the Winnipeg Ice.

It was game four of 鶹ѡ’s six-game prairie road-trip and the Rockets’ four-game win streak with points in nine straight was finally snapped by the Ice.

鶹ѡ out-shot the Ice 33-27, but Winnipeg got off to a hot start with a 3-0 lead just halfway through the game.

The Rockets’ Jake Lee scored the lone goal as 鶹ѡ’s power-play was ice cold in the loss, going 0-4.

Dillon Hamaliuk has been dealing with an illness and missed Wednesday night’s game and is out indefinitely for the Rockets.

“He’s under the care of team doctors, who have shut him down to give him time to recover,” said 鶹ѡ’s general manager Bruce Hamilton.

It’s the final stretch for the Rockets’ prairie road-trip this weekend. 鶹ѡ visits the Regina Pats on Friday then the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday.

鶹ѡ will return to home ice on Dec. 18.
