The Patriots came up short on Thursday night, falling 3 to 2 to the Stouffville Spirit on the road.
Romain and Gaudry found the back of the net for the Patriots, while Caracciolo made 24 saves on 27 shots in the loss.
The Pats were unable to find their rhythm throughout the evening and could not complete the comeback as they searched for the equalizer.
The Patriots will look to regroup and get back to work when they return to Westwood Arena this Saturday to take on the Oakville Blades.
