The Soo Greyhounds dropped the final game of a successful three-game road trip on Sunday.

The Mississauga Ice Dogs used a third period power play goal to edge the Greyhounds 2-1 on Sunday afternoon in Ontario Hockey League action in Mississauga.

The loss comes after the Greyhounds opened the road trip with a 4-3 win against the Oshawa Generals on Thursday before handling the Kingston Frontenacs 5-2 on Friday night. The loss also snapped a four-game winning streak.

After a scoreless first period, Colt King opened the scoring for the Greyhounds as the overage forward tipped home his third goal of the year off a Jeff Doyle pass to give the Hounds a 1-0 lead 38 seconds into the second period.

Patrick O'Sullivan tied the game for the Ice Dogs later in the frame before Kyle Quincey scored the game winner on the power play at 11:50 of the third period.
