One-third of the way through the B.C. Hockey League season, the numbers don’t add up well for the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

After 20 games, the Caps are 6-13-1 and mired in the Coastal Conference basement following a 5-2 loss to the Grizzlies Friday night at Cowichan Arena and a 3-2 setback against the Kings in Powell River Sunday afternoon.

The Caps are just 3-7 at home so far this season, a situation they’ll be looking to rectify Friday at 7:30 p.m. against Surrey and Saturday against Nanaimo. Their road record now stands at 3-6-1.

“We’re looking for wins anywhere we can take them right now, especially at home,’’ said Caps’ captain Joey Massingham. “With that last game, it felt like we were right there. It’s just a matter of time before we start breaking losses. But it’s still losses and we need the points.’’

The Caps trail Nanaimo and Burnaby by three points.

The Caps were outshot considerably by Powell River 45-22, but Massingham said it didn’t seem that lopsided.

“The whole game we had a really good effort from everyone,’’ said Massingham. “Late in the game, they got a couple of lucky bounces.’’

Goals at 14:28 by Matt Garbowsky and the winner at 17:03 from Ladysmith product Jordan Grant on a power play spoiled an otherwise great game by Caps’ goalie Alexandre Peck.

“He’s been very solid for us all year,’’ Massingham said of Peck, who kept the Caps in it till the end.

The Caps introduced several new players during the past week and are still trying to find the right mix.

It doesn’t help having Matthew Johnston, Rajan Sidhu and Ryan Green all out with long-term injuries.

The Caps also didn’t have defenceman Curtis Gedig available while he’s playing in the World Junior A Challenge for Canada West.

Justin Sotkowy, who played for Quesnel in the BCHL last season, debuted on defence while Karver Everson was brought in from Comox Valley Glacier Kings of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League to help fill the gap.

Up-front, John Morea has provided some spark along with Jared Crema. “He has great finish,’’ Massingham said of Morea, who was born in Brooklyn.

Crema played for Alberni Valley last year. He just returned from the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds, playing in one game.
