The Bucks were outplayed by the Killer Bees, as they were outshot 52-38, and gave up five straight goals to Rio to lose their 1-0 lead and fall behind 5-1.
Despite allowing five goals, rookie goaltender Ryan Gibb impressed in his first professional game, as he stopped 47 of 52 Killer Bee shots to pick up the tough luck loss.
Sebastien Centomo is slated to get the start in net tonight against the Ice Rays.
After scoring three power-play goals in their season-opening 7-1 win, the Bucks have gone one for their last 14 with the man advantage, including 1-9 Friday night. Overall this season, laredo is 4-24 on the power-play through three games.
Adam Rivet will bring a two-game goal scoring streak into tonight's game, as he tallied Laredo's lone goal in their 2-1 loss to Bossier last Saturday, and scored the Buck's last goal in Friday's defeat.
The Ice Rays have been on both sides of two blowouts thus far this season, as they pounded Tulsa 12-3 in their season opener, before falling Friday night to Rapid City 8-2.
