It was another shootout for the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears Feb. 16, but the home team was not on the winning end of this one.

The visiting Cornwall Colts took the win with a 2-1 decision with Liam Lascelle picking up the decision in nets during this CCHL Friday night showdown in front of 324 fans.

Bradley Dobson was in the Bears crease, turning away 27 shots.

It was a 1-1 draw after the first period with Cornwall drawing the first blood as Ethan Mulhearn did the scoring.

Brian Bygrave tied it up with help from Anthony Ieradi and Ethan Coltart.

The next two periods, and even the OT frame went scoreless. Smiths Falls went 0/3 on the power play opportunity.

Alex Wilkins had the shootout marker for the 2-1 win.

Smiths Falls is in Pembroke later tonight, and on Family Day Monday, they’ll be in Carleton Place for a 3 p.m. puck drop.
