Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
ROCHESTER, NY - The Hamilton Bulldogs dropped a 3-2 decision to the Rochester Americans in their second pre-season game on Friday night at the ESL Sports Centre in Rochester. The Bulldogs will wrap up their pre-season schedule tomorrow afternoon (Saturday, September 29th) at 4:00 p.m. when they host the same Rochester Americans at Hagersville Memorial Arena in Hagersville, Ontario.
The Americans opened the scoring at 7:34 of the first period when Tanner Glass batted his own rebound out of the air and past Bulldogs starting netminder Yann Danis. The goal came just after Hamilton killed off a two-minute minor penalty.
At 13:52 of the middle stanza, Duncan Milroy tipped home a shot from the point by Marvin Degon to even the score for the Bulldogs at 1-1. Sergei Kostitsyn also earned an assist on Milroy's power-play goal.
Cedrick Desjardins replaced Danis between the pipes for Hamilton at the start of the third period. Danis turned aside 24 of 25 shots in two full periods of action.
The teams exchanged goals early in the final frame. The 'Dogs took a 2-1 lead just 1:58 into the period when Corey Locke set up Thomas Beauregard for his first goal of the pre-season. Then at 4:53, Kenndal McArdle scored for the Amerks to level the score at 2-2.
Rochester went up 3-2 at 11:04 of the third period courtesy of an Adam Taylor goal. The unassisted goal proved to be the game-winner as the Americans held off the Bulldogs for a one-goal win.
In relief of Danis, Desjardins made 7 saves on 9 shots in the third period for the 'Dogs while Adam Dennis went the distance for the Amerks stopping 16 of the 18 shots he faced.
The defending American Hockey League Calder Cup Champion Hamilton Bulldogs 2007-2008 home opener will take place on Friday, October 12th, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. versus the Rochester Americans.
