​Kincardine Bulldogs post three wins, one loss in the new year

The Kincardine Bulldogs continue in third place in the Pollock Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League, after posting three wins and one loss, so far in the new year.

The ‘Dogs dominated Goderich, 8-3; lost to Hanover, 7-1; edged Mount Forest, 6-5, in overtime; and Saturday night, they defeated Wingham, 5-2, at the Davidson Centre in Kincardine. Their Friday night game against Fergus was postponed due to the snowstorm.

The Wingham Ironmen came to the Davidson Centre, Saturday night, but went home on the short end of a 5-2 game.

Kincardine opened the scoring early in the first period on a goal by Jordan Moulton from Bryce Martin and Caeleb Bowler. Minutes later, Wingham tied it up and then took a 2-1 lead heading into the second.

Moulton scored early in the second frame, from Carter Servais and Cooper Schneider, to tie the score at 2-2, before his teammates added two more, to make it a 4-2 game. Trent Houghton scored from Moulton and Kieran Moore; and Tyler Wagler scored from Blake Hellyer.

The game turned chippy with plenty of penalties on the board.

Midway through the third period, Houghton scored from Wagler and Wilson Shipp, to give the Bulldogs the 5-2 win.

Goalie Carter Garvie made 28 saves on 30 shots for Kincardine.

The Bulldogs take on the Walkerton Capitals, Friday, Jan. 19, at 8:30 p.m., at the Davidson Centre; and next weekend, they are on the road, travelling to Goderich, Jan. 27, and Mitchell, Jan. 28.
