The Niagara IceDogs were defeated in a tough battle against the surging Sault St. Marie Greyhounds Saturday night. After dropping the gloves Thursday night against Brampton, assistant captain Dylan MacEachern opened the scoring for the IceDogs at the 4:01 mark of the first, with Shaw and Petgrave.

Former St. Catharines resident Jordan Nolan answered back for the Greyhounds as he netted his 20th goal of the season on a power play. Sault St. Marie was awarded another power play shortly after, and over-ager Jacob Muzzin capitalized on the advantage, with Nolan picking up an assist and second point of the game.

The Greyhounds struck again as Brett Thompson beat Visentin to give the Hounds a 3-1 lead. Thompson followed up by notching his second goal of the game on the power play with Nolan picking up yet another assist, giving their team a comfortable 4-1 lead after the first period of play.

Johnson Andrews also stirred things up in the first by getting into the fisticuffs with Dylan King, who currently has the title for most fight majors in the league, with 25.

John Chartrand got the start for the Dogs in the second period, giving Visentin a rest.

Agozzino got things going for the Dogs at the 6:44 mark after making a nice play to Matt Petgrave, who scored his 4th goal of the season, cutting the Greyhounds lead to 4-2.

The Soo wouldn't give the Dogs much space, as Jordan Nolan picked up his third assist of the night by passing the puck across the crease to Nick Cousins who tapped it past Chartrand to give the game a score of 5-2.

It was all Nolan all night - another assist, another Greyhounds goal. Jake Carrick buried this time, giving the Hounds a 6-2 lead.

Johnson Andrews got involved in the game once again, this time by scoring a goal. Andrews has picked up his play immensely as of late, as the goal was his second in 3 games.

However, the score would remain at 6-3 in favour of the Sault St. Marie Greyhounds.

The IceDogs will return to action next Thursday night as they visit the Peterborough Petes, as they continue to chase a playoff spot.
