After a dominating 4-1 victory at the SSEC Friday
night against the Oshawa
Generals, the Sting travelled to
Hamilton Saturday night for a
tilt with the Hamilton Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs skated away with a
3-2 victory snapping the Sting's
3 game winning streak.
Jakob Chychrun scored the first goal of the game for the
Sting on the power play from
Konecny and Fazio. The first
period provided a high amount of
scoring chances from both teams
who are coming off of wins on
Friday night.
The second period belonged to
the Hamilton Bulldogs that was
lead by a power play that went
2/2 in the period. Adam Laishram
provided the Bulldogs with 2
goals, and Trent Fox adding the
other. The Sting offense was
overpowered by the Bulldogs who
came out of the gates shooting
testing Fazio early and often.
The Sting entered the third
period down 2 goals and provided
a high amount of scoring chances
looking to extend the win streak
to 4 games, but ran into a hot
goaltender in former Sting
goalie Kaden Fulcher who was
making his second start for the
Bulldogs since being acquired.
Patrick White scored the lone
goal for the Sting off of a
defensive turnover by the
Bulldogs. The Sting pressured
the Bulldogs throughout the
period and amped up the physical
play of the game providing hit
after hit. The Sting came close
in the final seconds of the
period with the goalie pulled,
but came up short.
Fulcher stood tall for the
Bulldogs who gained first win in
a Bulldogs uniform against his
former team making 30 saves on
32 shots shutting down a red hot
Sting offense. Justin Fazio got
the call for the Sting tonight,
and provided an assist on the
opening goal of the game. Fazio
finished with 21 saves on 24
shots with the addition to key
saves in the second period to
keep the game close.
This was the second game on a three game weekend for the Sting that
will be wrapped up tonight
(Sunday) in Oshawa.
The Sting will return home Thursday January 21st
to take on the London Knights,
and again on the 23rd when
former Sting Captian Daniel
Nikandrov and the Petes are in
town Saturday
