The Trail Smoke Eaters have a two game road trip this weekend as they look to shake off an early season slump.
The Smokies wrap up a home and home in Merritt Friday night - a chance for revenge against the Centennials.
Merritt blanked Trail 5-0 Tuesday night - the Smokies' third straight loss on Cominco Ice.
Things seemed to get away from Trail during their three game home stand after things seemed to go so right at the BCHL showcase the week prior.
The Smokies were outscored 17-1 in those three games - the only goal coming in the first outing last Friday night.
That's back to back games Trail couldn't find the back of the net.
I asked forward Scott Davidson what the feeling in the dressing is currently like?
"Kind of low. [We're] kind of feeling down a bit. We've ran into a little break down but everyone is positive about this weekend though because we know if we take these two games it will turn things around for us."
The Smoke Eaters are in Prince George Saturday night for a date with the Spruce Kings.
Davidson says they aren't necessarily focusing on their struggle to score goals and feels if they keep sending pucks towards the net, eventually something will go in/
He is more concerned with the teams work ethic.
"Basically our heart. [We need] guys selling out and back checking and doing the little things right."
