Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
HAMILTON, ON - The Hamilton Bulldogs were edged 4-3 by the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night at Copps Coliseum. The loss drops Hamilton's record to 4-6-0-3 through 13 games this season.
The Wolves jumped out to a 2-0 lead courtesy of two Brett Sterling goals. Chicago opened the scoring on the power play at the 8:25 mark when Sterling's wrist shot to the glove side slipped past âDogs netminder Yann Danis. Sterling then tallied again at 12:04 of the frame, shovelling a rebound into the back of the Bulldogs net.
At 18:10 of the opening frame, Hamilton cut Chicago's lead to 2-1 when Greg Stewart potted his first-career AHL goal. Jonathan Ferland, who drew the lone assist on the play, won the face-off straight back to Stewart who fired a high wrist shot to the top left corner of the net.
âDogs forward Eric Manlow registered his second goal of the season at 3:28 of the middle stanza to tie the game 2-2. Marvin Degon setup Manlow who blasted a shot over the right shoulder of Wolves' netminder Fred Brathwaite.
Hamilton then took a 3-2 lead at 15:27 of the second frame when Janne Lahti banged in a loose puck at the side of Chicago's net. Corey Locke earned an assist on the goal and took sole possession of third place on the Bulldogs all-time scoring list with 166 points (57-109-166), surpassing Peter Sarno who posted 165 points (42-123-165) as a Bulldog. Locke now needs 14 points to overtake Brain Swanson (71-108-179) and become Hamilton's all-time leading scorer.
The Wolves stormed out of the gate in the third period with two goals in a span of 1:26 to take a 4-3 lead. Fifty seconds into the frame, Jesse Schultz scored his seventh goal of the season to tie the game at three. Chicago's Andre Deveaux then scored the game's eventual winning goal at the 2:16 mark, making the score 4-3.
The Bulldogs were 0-for-4 on the power play while the Wolves went 1-for-2 with the man advantage.
