HAMILTON, ONTARIO. The Hamilton Bulldogs scored 3 unanswered goals in the 3rd period on Wednesday night for a 4-2 win and a 3-1 lead in the best of 7 Eastern Conference Semi-Final.
The Bulldogs opened the scoring at 9:07 of the 1st period as Marian Studenic (1) buried a feed from Ryan Moore for his 1st of the playoffs. Niagara was quick to get even things up 1-1 as they scored 52 seconds later. The Bulldogs thought they had re-taken the lead, but Arthur Kaliyev's goal was called off due to contact with the Niagara goaltender.

Isaac Nurse (6) took a feed from defenseman Connor Walters and put a backhand over the blocker of Stephen Dhillon to tie the game at 2-2 at 1:57. Less than a minute later, Marian Studenic (2) buried a rebound for the game-winning goal. Robert Thomas (5) capped off the win with an empty-net goal with 1 second left in the game.
