Hamilton, ON - The Hamilton Bulldogs defeated the Lake Erie Monsters 3-0 in front of 4,444 fans at Copps Coliseum on Friday evening. Loic Lacasse earned his first-career AHL shutout after making 22 saves. The shutout marks the first time since the 2002-2003 season that the Bulldogs have had three different ‘Dogs goaltenders record shutouts.

T.J. Kemp opened the game's scoring with a goal at 7:00 of the first frame. Brock Trotter skated behind the net before sending a pass to Kemp, who skated in from the blue line. Kemp hammered a one-time shot on net that beat Lake Erie starting goaltender Tyler Weiman on the blocker side. The marker was Kemp's first goal as a Bulldog as the goal he was originally credited with in Tuesday's game was given to Greg Stewart following the game.

After a scoreless second stanza, the ‘Dogs added their second goal at 5:23 of the final frame. Olivier Latendresse fed a pass through the slot and onto the stick of Mathieu Carle, who had skated to the side of the net. Carle fired a shot over the right shoulder of Weiman for his fifth goal of the season. David Desharnais also earned an assist on the goal, which increases his point streak to seven games. Mike Glumac added the Bulldogs' third goal at 16:55. Glumac received the puck from Latendresse before he released a slapshot that beat Weiman.
