Looking for a bounce back performance in a quick turn around on Sunday afternoon, the Brantford Bulldogs closed their two-game weekend road swing with a matinee visit to the Peterborough Memorial Centre to meet the Petes.
Peterborough got off to a quick start just 3:44 into the game with Adam Novotny gloving down a clearing attempt from Marek Vanacker and skating to space into the left circle, where the Czech import launched a rocket over David Egorov’s shoulder to give the hosts a 1-0 edge. David Egorov was quick to pick his mates up with a pair of excellent stops first on a point-blank Kieron Walton right circle drive followed by a short break from Aiden Young that “Big Save Dave” was able to deny with a blocker stop. After being outshot 10-4 through the first half of the frame, the Bulldogs reversed the fortunes the rest of the way, outshooting the Petes 8-2 down the stretch of the period, including earning a power-play opportunity. With time expiring in the period, Adam Benak’s right circle drive was stopped by Easton Rye with the rebound falling to Caleb Malhotra in front of a nearly open goal but the buzzer sounded to end the period before Malhotra could have a chance to shovel the puck in with the Bulldogs heading down the tunnel trailing by a goal.
