DES MOINES, IOWA – Hamilton Bulldogs forward T.J. Hensick scored two goals in the last seven minutes of the game to lift the ‘Dogs (21-17-6-0) past the Iowa Wild (15-28-1-1) 2-1 on Friday night at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.

The win was the Bulldogs’ fifth in a row, which is their longest winning streak this season. The last time Hamilton won five straight came between Dec. 26, 2013 and Jan. 10, 2014, when the club won six consecutive games.

GAME SUMMARY

After a goaltending duel through the first 40 minutes which saw ‘Dogs goaltender Mike Condon and Wild netminder Darcy Kuemper turn aside a combined 39 shots, Iowa defenceman Guillaume Gelinas fired a one-timer over a sprawling Condon to break the scoreless tie on the power play at 8:23 of the third period. Forward Marc Hagel and defenceman Brad Richard had assists on the play.

With seven minutes to go in regulation, Hensick roofed a wrister over Kuemper in tight for his 11th goal of the season on the power play to tie the game, 1-1. Forwards Charles Hudon and Sven Andrighetto had assists.

Four minutes later, Hensick tipped a point shot by defenceman Darren Dietz past Kuemper for his team co-leading 12th goal of the year to give the ‘Dogs a 2-1 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. Forward Drayson Bowman had a second assist.

Condon made 37 saves on 38 shots for the Bulldogs in the win, while Kuemper stopped 27 of 29 shots faced for the Wild in the loss.

Hamilton went 1-for-3 on the power play, while Iowa was 1-for-4 with a man advantage.

Canadiens Recall Drayson Bowman from Bulldogs

HAMILTON, ONT — Just one day after sending Drayson Bowman back down to the Hamilton Bulldogs, the Montreal Canadiens have decided to recall the forward now that Rene Bourque cleared waivers and has joined the Bulldogs.

Bourque was assigned to Hamilton this afternoon after the Canadiens put him on waivers yesterday. No team took the gamble on the veteran forward, so he will play in the AHL for the foreseeable future.

A Bowman-for-Bourque swap is smart for the Habs because they save cap now that Bourque is in the AHL.

Bowman will act as Montreal’s extra forward, and could slide into the lineup this week.

HAMILTON, ONT — After being recalled by the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, Drayson Bowman has been sent back down to the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Jarred Tinordi, who was sent to Hamilton for the weekend set against the Adirondack Flames, has been recalled by the Habs.

Bowman, 25, is a veteran AHL forward who has six points (2 goals, 4 assists) in 11 games played with the Bulldogs this season. He will report to the team as soon as possible, and will join them for their trip down East as they face the St. John’s IceCaps this week.

Tinordi, 22, played two games with the Bulldogs this weekend, and provided a solid physical presence on the backend and was a -2 after registering one shot on goal.

Also, the Habs have placed Rene Bourque on waivers and if he does not clear by noon Monday, he will be assigned to the Bulldogs and that would be a big addition for the ‘Dogs, who would need to make adjustments to the roster in order to fit him in.

I will update.
