HAMILTON, ONTARIO. The Hamilton Bulldogs ended a 4-game losing streak Friday night in Kitchener with a thrilling 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Power-plays provided all the scoring in the 1st period. First the Rangers got on the board at 16:38 then on a 5-on-3 advantage Logan Morrison (8) tied the game 1-1 with Arthur Kaliyev (39) giving Hamilton a 2-1 lead 25-seconds later.

Hamilton's power-play went 3-for-3 early in the 2nd as Kaliyev (40) scored his second of the game to give the Bulldogs a 3-1 lead with Matthew Strome (25), making it 4-1 before Kitchener eased the Hamilton momentum with a goal to cut the Bulldogs lead to 4-2.

The Rangers scored back-to-back short-handed goals on the same Bulldogs power-play in the 3rd to tie the game 4-4. However, with Kitchener applying the pressure, Jan Jenik (5) made no mistake on a breakaway to restore the Bulldogs lead at 5-4 with Arthur Kaliyev (41) finishing off his hat-trick with an empty-net goal at 19:57 to make the final 6-4.

3 STARS:

1) Arthur Kaliyev (HAM) 2) Greg Meireles (KIT) 3) Matthew Strome (HAM)
