SAN ANTONIO, TX - The Hamilton Bulldogs outshot the San Antonio Rampage but were out-scored 3-2 in the first of their three Texas games this week.

San Antonio drew first blood, with Scott Timmins scoring his tenth of the season at 5:29 into the first period. His glove-side slapshot beat Bulldogs netminder Robert Mayer to make it 1-0 Rampage. Greg Rallo gave San Antonio a 2-0 lead just 2:15 later with a rising shot from the right face-off circle.

At 7:15 into the second period, Olivier Malka ripped the puck past Rampage netminder Jacob Markstrom, scoring his first AHL goal to put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard. Robert Slaney tied the game at 2 when he tucked the puck between Markstrom's pad and the left post, scoring his second goal in three games. Then, with less than two minutes to play in the second stanza, Michael Caruso gave the Rampage a 3-2 lead, scoring his fifth of the season with a strong shot from the point.

The third period was goalless, though Markstrom made several key saves to keep the Bulldogs from evening the score. Hamilton tested Markstrom 37 times in the game, while Mayer faced 27 shots.
