The Hamilton Bulldogs are still looking for their first points in the 2022 Memorial Cup after dropping their second game in a row following a 3-2 loss to the Shawinigan Cataractes.
The QMJHL champs broke a 2-2 tie with a goal from Buffalo Sabres draft pick Olivier Nadeau at 7:06 mark of the third period to squeak out their 2nd straight win. The Cataractes also got goals from Edmonton Oiler draft pick Xavier Bourgault and Dallas Stars prospect Mavrik Bourque.
The Bulldogs played from behind most of the game with a first period goal from Mason McTavish and a sublime second period deflection from Avery Hayes.
Penalties were frequent over the 60 minutes with the teams amassing a cumulative 17 offences for a combined 34 minutes in the box.
The Bulldogs had 10 penalties over three periods.
More to come.
