Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
TORONTO, ON - The Hamilton Bulldogs were edged 3-2 by the Toronto Marlies on Saturday night at Ricoh Coliseum. With the loss, Hamilton's record drops to 3-4-0-1 on the season.
Toronto opened the scoring at 2:37 of the first period when Michel Leveille notched his second tally of the season. Leveille corralled the puck in his own end, broke down the right wing and beat 'Dogs netminder Jaroslav Halak with a wrist shot.
Eric Manlow responded for Hamilton at 8:39 of the opening frame with a power-play goal to make the score 1-1. Marvin Degon and Sergei Kostitsyn earned assists on Manlow's first goal of the campaign.
The teams exchanged goals in the second period. The Bulldogs took a 2-1 lead at the 8:54 mark when Cory Urquhart took a pass from Duncan Milroy and buried a low shot past goaltender Scott Clemmensen on the glove side. Then at 16:10, the Marlies evened the score 2-2 with a power-play goal from Staffan Kronwall. The goal was scored just 45 seconds after the Bulldogs had killed off the first penalty of a two-man advantage.
At 3:31 of the third period, Kris Newbury scored a shorthanded goal to give Toronto a 3-2 lead. Former Bulldog Bryan Muir earned the lone assist on Newbury's eventual game-winning goal.
Between the pipes, Halak made 37 saves on 40 shots and recorded the loss for the Bulldogs, while Clemmensen picked up the win by stopping 14 of 16 shots for the Marlies.
Hamilton went 1-for-8 on the power play while Toronto was 1-for-7 with the man advantage.
