A game dominated by abundance of hard work and a minimum number of chances went the way of Oshawa tonight at the Meridian Centre, as the IceDogs lost 2-1.
Oshawa would get the only goal of the opening period, just after a miraculous save by Generals netminder Kyle Keyser. Stephen Dhillion would keep it a one goal gave with a late outstanding save of his own.
The eventual game winner would come on a 5 on 3 Oshawa power-play in the second. The IceDogs would reply with a man advantage goal of their own late. Matthew Phillip's second of the year would be assisted by Graham Knott and Hayden Davis.
A scoreless third woule be punctuated by some fine work by Dhillon in goal and some late game defensive heroics from Aaron Haydon. Oshawa won the batte on the shot clock as well, 32-29.
A rare Wednesday night home game begins the next week of action. The Erie Otters will be in town, with the pre-game at 6:30 on 610 CKTB.
