Queen's Men's Hockey fell 3-1 to the Ottawa Gee-Gees Sunday afternoon in Ottawa, Ont.

After a scoreless first period, the Gee-Gees opened the scoring midway through the second period with a power play goal. 

Ottawa would double their lead early in the third period before the Gaels got on the board, cutting the Gee-Gees lead in half when Jack Duff found the back of the net on a goal assisted by Jacob Paquette.

That was as close as Queen's would get however, with the Gee-Gees scoring late in the third period to restore their two-goal lead and hold on for the win.

Queen's outshot the Gee-Gees in the loss 27-19, with Gaels goalie Luke Richardson making 16 saves.

With the loss, Queen's record fell to 10-11-2. The Gaels currently sit seventh in the OUA East standings.

Queen's Men's Hockey will return to the ice on Thursday, Feb. 2 for the Carr-Harris Challenge Cup against the RMC Paladins, 7:30 p.m. at the Leon's Centre. The Carr-Harris Cup celebrates the world's oldest hockey rivalry. For more information and for tickets to the game, click here.
