"We were just plain not ready to play tonight," said head coach PJ Gondek. "It was your proverbial trap game and we fell for it. We did not execute on offense and the few chances they had all went in. We better be ready for Canton." 

They now stand at 4-2-3 overall. Houghton improves to 2-4-1.

The Devils face the Roos in Canton on Saturday.
