The Manitoba Moose fell 6-2 to the Hamilton Bulldogs in front of 2,768 fans at the Copps Coliseum on Sunday afternoon. Tommy Maxwell and Guillaume Desbiens both scored for Manitoba while Daren Machesney stopped 21 of 27 shots in the loss.

Guillaume Desbien's hooking penalty at 8:26 put the Bulldogs on the first powerplay of the afternoon. Despite bringing their shot count to six on the man-advantage, the Bulldogs couldn't beat Manitoba's penalty killers - who were on a two-game perfect penalty killing streak.

At 10:50 the Bulldogs broke onto the scoreboard. With as pass from Ryan White, Andrew Conboy slapped the puck into the open back door and over a sprawling Daren Machesney to take the lead, 1-0.

Hamilton extended their lead 5:33 into the middle frame. Brock Trotter snuck down the left side of the ice and danced around Manitoba's defense before going high on Machesney's glove-side for a 2-0 tally.

The Moose cut the Bulldogs lead in half 59 seconds later when Tommy Maxwell earned his second goal of the season by slapping the puck under Cedrick Desjardin's cross bar for a 2-1 score.

At 11:02, Mike Glumac caught a bounce off Machesney's pad and redirected the puck into the mesh to regain Hamilton's two-goal lead.

With Tommy Maxwell serving time for hooking at 14:07, the Bulldogs capitalized on their second powerplay. David Desharnais' shot deflected off Yannick Weber and over Machesney for a 4-1 score. Moments later, Hunter Bishop batted in his own rebound to extend the Bulldogs lead to 5-1.

The Moose notched their second goal of the night when Guillaume Desbiens potted a powerplay marker at 10:40 of the third period. However, Yannick Weber notched his second of the game 22 seconds later confirm a 6-2 victory for the Bulldogs.

LOOKING AHEAD The Moose will close-out their regular season series with Hamilton on Tuesday night.

NEXT GAME Tuesday, April 6, 2010 - 6:30PM @ Copps Coliseum (3:00pm on CJOB Radio with Brian Munz)
