Putting a close to the team’s longest road trip of the 2025-26 season, the Brantford Bulldogs arrived to the GFL Memorial Gardens on Sunday afternoon in Sault Ste. Marie to take on the Greyhounds.
David Egorov made his second straight start of the road-trip following his 4-0 victory over the Sudbury Wolves on Friday and was equally brilliant in the first period on Sunday, handling aside all 13 shots he faced in the opening frame. “Big Save” Dave was at his finest fending off a 3-on-2 late in the period with Brady Martin toe-dragging into the right circle and whistling a shot that Egorov was able to battle off with his shoulder. Another fine stop in the final minute saw Egorov flash left to right in his crease to handle a trailing Lukas Fischer, giving the talented defensemen nothing to look at it as he kept the game scoreless. The Bulldogs had moments of their own with Caleb Malhotra’s early period net front pass just skipping over the stick of the Marek Vanacker in front of an open side and Carter George denying a power-play drive from Adam Benak through a screen from the right circle to keep the game scoreless through 20-minutes.
