The IceDogs dropped a 6-2 Sunday afternoon decision in North Bay.
Down 1-0 after one. Riley Patterson scored twice in the second, before the period was six minutes old. His 7th and 8th of the year stood up until the Battalion notched a power-play late.
Two goals in 21 seconds in the first two minutes, plus two more before the mid-way mark of the third closed out the scoring. Shots were even at 30 in the contest.
Next up, a first visit this season from Ottawa Thursday night. New Country 89.1 will kick off the iceDogs week with the pre-game show at 6:45.
