HAMILTON, ONTARIO. It was billed as an early season showdown as the top two teams in the Eastern Conference went at it as the Sudbury Wolves edged the Hamilton Bulldogs 6-4 Friday night at the Sudbury Community Arena.

The hometown Wolves got off to a quick start taking a 2-0 lead before Bulldogs rookie Connor Roberts (2) cut the lead to 2-1 at 12:46, only to see the Wolves go up 3-1 with a late power-play goal.

The Wolves Dmitry Sokolov took over early in the second with back to back goals as the Wolves took a 5-1 lead. Sokolov finished the night with the hat-trick, including the game winner.

The Bulldogs began to claw back as Isaac Nurse (2) scored to make it 5-2 midway through the second period.

The comeback continued in the third as Matthew Strome (6) and then Trent Fox (2) on the power-play cut the Sudbury lead to 5-4, but an empty netter by the Wolves ended the scoring at 19:39.

The Bulldogs outshot the Wolves 40-35.

The loss snapped the Bulldogs winning streak at four as their regular season record dips to 6-2.

Sudbury is now 5-2-1-0 good for 11 points, just one back of Hamilton.

The two teams will wrap up the home and home series Saturday night at FirstOntario Centre at 7pm.
