Winnipeg, MB - The Hamilton Bulldogs dropped their second decision in as many nights to the Manitoba Moose as they were beaten 4-1 on Saturday night at the MTS Centre. The Bulldogs record now stands at 17-27-0-2.
Manitoba opened the scoring at the 10:30 mark of the first period when Alexandre Bolduc fired a low shot from the slot past Hamilton goaltender Yann Danis. Jesse Shultz then gave the Moose a 2-0 lead with Manitoba enjoying a two-man advantage at 12:08. Shultz took a pass from Brett Skinner and rifled a one-time shot from the bottom of the left face-off circle behind Danis.
Ryan Bayda put the Moose ahead by three goals at 9:11 of the second period when he deflected a centering pass from Jason Jaffray into the top of the net. With 19 seconds remaining in the middle stanza, Jaffray made a cross-ice pass to Lee Goren, who one-timed the puck by Danis to make the score 4-0.
The Bulldogs ended Manitoba goaltender Wade Flaherty's shutout bid at 12:18 of the third period as Jean-Francois Jacques was credited with his team-leading 13th goal of the season. Mathieu Roy and Francis Lemieux earned the assists.
