The Ottawa 67’s were unable to extend their winning streak to four, Friday night, dropping a 4-3 result to the Hamilton Bulldogs.
Frankie Marrelli scored the first of his OHL career, with Cooper Foster and Cameron Tolnai adding others as part of a 67’s rally, but it would be as close as they got, this night.
It took all of a minute and 31 seconds for Hamilton to open the scoring, with Sahil Panwar converting on a two-on-one chance to make it 1-0.
The 67’s appeared to tie the game soon after, but a Tolnai marker was overturned after a lengthy review, on a play that was eventually ruled offside.
Nick Landis made it 2-0 just after the midway point of the frame, and Patrick Thomas converted on a powerplay with less than five minutes to play, sending the 67’s to the second down 3-0.
Ottawa made it a game in the middle period, with Marrelli’s first OHL goal, and Cooper Foster’s 15th of the campaign, but a questionable goal by Cedricson Okitundu that was ruled good on review gave the Bulldogs a 4-2 lead.
Tolnai scored late in the third, but that would be all the offence the 67’s could muster, in a 4-3 defeat.
The 67’s will attempt to get back on track, Sunday afternoon, with a visit from the Sarnia Sting.
Game Notes:
- Jack Matier suited up in his 150th OHL game, and notched his 50th career assist.
- Cameron Tolnai notched his 46th point of the season, setting a new career high.
- Cooper Foster sits third in rookie scoring, with 27 points.
