KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY REPORT
FRONTS LOOK FOR NEW RESULT AGAINST DOGS
KINGSTON TRAILS HAMILTON 4-0 IN SEASON SERIES THIS SEASON
It has been a struggle for the Kingston Frontenacs
when they take on the Hamilton Bulldogs so far this
season. The Bulldogs have taken the first four decisions
between the two division rivals, and they have
earned those wins in a variety of different ways. Despite
Kingston being winless so far, expect tonight’s
game to come down to the wire.
In the first meeting of the season, regulation and
overtime wasn’t enough to decide a winner. Tag Bertuzzi
tied the game for the Bulldogs with less than five
minutes left and then scored the only goal in the shootout
to give his team the win. Zayde Wisdom scored
both Kingston goals in a 3-2 shootout loss.
The next time it was Kingston looking for a late goal
to tie the game but Arthur Kaliyev scored his second
of the game into an empty net to seal a 4-2 victory.
Ryan Dugas was excellent in the loss making 39 saves
on 42 shots.
Kingston looked to have Hamilton on the ropes
with a 2-0 lead in the third meeting, but the Bulldogs
stormed back to take a 5-2 victory at Leon’s Centre
in December. Shane Wright recorded his first goal
against the Bulldogs to open the scoring in the game.
In the most recent meeting, the game appeared destined
for overtime once more. A bad bounce in the closing
minutes cost the Frontenacs at least one point and
maybe their first win of the season over the Bulldogs.
Tonight, Kingston is hoping that two straight home
wins last weekend is the spark they need to finally
break into the win column against their division rival.
As the Frontenacs push towards a playoff spot, tonight
is the perfect time to break through. KF
