Big 3rd period powers Oshawa Generals past Hamilton Bulldogs

Make it five losses in a row for the Hamilton Bulldogs following a 6-3 defeat against the Oshawa Generals Saturday night at FirstOntario Centre.

Oshawa’s Ty Tullio opened the scoring 4:12 into the contest when he beat Hamilton goalie Marco Costantini.

But the Bulldogs (1-5) battled back with goals from Logan Morrison, his first of the season, and Arthur Kaliyev less than six minutes later as Hamilton went into the first intermission with a 2-1 lead.

Serron Noel netted the only goal in the second period when his shot bounced up and over Costantini and into the net to even the score 2-2 with 1:25 to go in the period.

The Dogs retook the lead early in the third period when Ryan Winterton banged home a rebound past Generals goaltender Zachary Paputsakis.
