Syracuse, NY - The Hamilton Bulldogs were defeated by the Syracuse Crunch 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. The Bulldogs had 45 shots on net but were only able to beat Timo Pielmeier twice as the goaltender made 43 saves to win the game for Syracuse.

The 'Dogs made the game 2-1 at 14:43 of the middle frame. Max Pacioretty fired a shot on net that was stopped by Syracuse starting goaltender Timo Pielmeier. The goaltender could not control the rebound, which David Desharnais grabbed and backhanded into the net. Pacioretty tied the game 2-2 at 16:40 while on a 5-on-3 power play. Desharnais received the puck from Frederic St. Denis before centering a pass to Max Pacioretty, who tapped the puck past Pielmeier.
