Two goals from assistant-player coach Carl Lauzon were in vain as Rapid Solicitors Hull Stingrays lost 4-3 at Edinburgh Capitals in the Elite League.
Kyle Flemington (9.34) and Riley Emmerson (11.04) handed Capitals a two-goal first period lead before Will Frederick pulled one back at 25.33 with his sixth of the season.
Captain Matty Davies, who missed the third period through injury, picked up an assist to register his 200th point in all EIHL competitions. 
Lauzon twice levelled for Stingrays (45.58 and 53.07) – taking his tally to 20 for the campaign – as he sandwiched Emmerson’s powerplay strike at 48.36.
Capitals took the lead for the third time 45 seconds later through Greg Collins and despite Stingrays pulling goaltender David Brown, they were unable to force overtime.
Player-coach Omar Pacha said: “For the first 20 minutes we were still on the bus, we just did not show up and that is frustrating.
“We did OK in the second and third periods but OK doesn’t get you wins on the road.
“We lost Matty for the third period and that was a big blow but we managed to pull it back twice only to give up another one right away.
“It is especially frustrating after the good performance against Cardiff.”
