HAMILTON, Ont. -- The Hamilton Bulldogs inability to capitalize on their first-period chances came back to haunt them on Sunday. After outshooting the Utica Comets 17-7 in the opening period, the Bulldogs had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Instead, the Bulldogs conceded the games first goal early in the second period, and dropped their fourth consecutive decision, and fifth in their past six games. Joacim Eriksson made 29 saves as the Comets defeated the Bulldogs 3-1 in American Hockey League action. "We played a good first period, and to come out with no score after one, maybe we deserved a better fate," said Hamilton head coach Sylvain Lefebvre. "But in the second period, we didnt play well at all. "In the third, when they scored their goal, it looked like we put our heads down instead of rolling up our sleeves." Zach Hamill, Alexandre Grenier and Colin Stuart scored for the Comets (2-8-2), who have now won two consecutive games after opening their season on a ten-game losing streak. Sven Andrighetto had the lone goal for Hamilton (5-5-3), while Dustin Tokarski made 29 saves in a losing effort. The Bulldogs outplayed and outpossessed the Comets in the opening period, but had few clear chances to score despite their puck possession, settling instead for shots from the perimeter. "We need to be more assertive and shoot to score, instead of shooting just to get the puck on net," said Lefebvre. "We need to drive the net with more authority. There are things that you can do, but you cant get frustrated." Utica forward David Booth had his teams best chance in an otherwise disjointed period, when he streaked into the attacking zone from the left and fired a high wrist shot that forced an alert glove save from Tokarski with 4:30 left to play. Hamilton was lacking a finishing touch and Andrighetto wasted his teams clearest opportunity to score when he chose to pass rather than shoot while on the backhand in the low slot. A bright start to the second for the Comets, the farm team of the Vancouver Canucks, culminated in the games first goal at the 2:14 mark of the period. Pascal Pelletier carried the puck down the right wing and centred for a streaking Hamill. The pass never made it to the wingers stick, and instead clipped off of his near skate and slid past Tokarski. Momentum was suddenly with Utica, and Nicklas Jensen had two wide-open chances to double the visitors lead a minute later. The winger was stationed in the high slot without a defender, and took two one-time shots, with the first hitting Tokarskis crossbar and the second going just wide of his near post. Hamilton was pinned back for much of the second period, but managed to find a breakthrough against the run of play at 19:05, when Andrighetto scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season. Mike Blundens initial shot was saved, but the rebound off Eriksson went to Andrighetto, who easily fired it high and into the open net. The Swiss rookie has taken hold of a spot in Hamiltons top six, and said that he is looking to repay his coachs faith in him. "I feel comfortable, and I think that Ive worked hard outside of the rink as well," said Andrighetto. "The coach is giving me a lot of trust in playing me with St. Pierre and Blunden right now. Thats great, because I think I can learn a lot from those guys. "I want to repay that trust with my performances on the ice." Booth put his speed on display to open the third period, accelerating past a Hamilton defender and moving to the backhand side, where Tokarski slid to smother his point-blank effort. Utica retook the lead with another fortunate bounce, as Peter Anderssons low shot from the point deflected off the skate of Morgan Ellis and straight to Grenier on the right wing, and he easily slotted a wrist shot past Tokarski at 2:59 of the third. A flurry in front of the Comets net with nine minutes to play seemed destined to yield a Bulldog equalizer, but neither Akim Aliu nor Ben Duffy could bat a bouncing puck past Eriksson. Stuart put the game beyond doubt, scoring into an empty net with nine seconds left in the game. Demarcus Robinson Chiefs Jersey .A.

Breeland Speaks Chiefs Jersey . They have watched it from afar. And now they have seen it for themselves.TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger gathered for the latest installment of Insider Trading and the topics discussed were the Edmonton Oilers goaltending situation, Chris Kunitzs Olympics chances, Morgan Rielly and Sean Monahans NHL prospects and the status of Dylan Chanter. How are the Edmonton Oilers reacting to their poor goaltending to start the season? Bob McKenzie: Devan Dubnyks sub-par performance on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs does not have Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish pushing the panic button, but it does have him reaching for the telephone. As early as Sunday, MacTavish has been working the phones and working them hard to determine the market for goaltenders. They are looking at every possibility, from Anaheims Jonas Hiller to Buffalos Ryan Miller to Brian Elliott in St. Louis to Michal Neuvirth in Washington and beyond. There isnt anything the Edmonton Oilers arent at least looking at or considering, but we are to believe that nothing is imminent at this point. Part of the problem the Oilers are going to run into is that most of these teams dont want to make a deal this early in the season and give up one of their surplus goaltenders until they get a better handle on their own situation. Darren Dreger: The Buffalo Sabres were hoping to wait until at least Christmas before they could assess and if you look at Ryan Miller, yes he would be a good fit for the Edmonton Oilers they need that bonafide number one, but contractually he has a modified no-trade, he has the opportunity to pick up to eight teams where he wont accept a trade. Edmonton could be on that list. Regardless, if they arent on the list and there is potential for a trade with Anaheim or Buffalo, the Oilers are getting to the point where they realize theyre going to have to give up one of their young guns. Is Chris Kunitz under scrutiny by the Hockey Canada selection team? Pierre LeBrun: Id say this is a debate at least internally for the Team Canada brain trust bbecause this is a guy they brought to the Olympic camp, I know when we put our teams together we werent all on the same page with Chris Kunitz.dddddddddddd Peter Chiarelli of the Team Canada committee group was in Pittsburgh to watch Kunitz Tuesday night and they are going to watch him very closely. There are some people in the group that believe he is the perfect complement to Sidney Crosby, if he can do it in Pittsburgh he can do it at the Olympics because its so hard to find a guy to mesh with Crosby. Other guys in the group just dont think he belongs in the Olympics; this debate is going to go down to the wire. What are the chances Morgan Rielly stays with the Toronto Maple Leafs instead of being returned to Junior? Dreger: 80 per cent chance that Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly sticks in the National Hockey League this year. He has to play better this week than he did on the weekend against the Edmonton Oilers. If he does, hell seal the deal. What are the chances for Sean Monahan to stick with the Calgary Flames? LeBrun: Sean Monahan of the Calgary Flames is second in rookie point scoring heading into Tuesday but the Flames want to see how hes going to play in tough upcoming road games. They are going to face the San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings, thats real competition, then theyll decide what to do with him. What is the status of Dylan Chanter and will this lead to changes in the USHLs fighting policies? Dreger: Dylan is still recovering, hes not yet willing to talk about the incident, obviously he needs more time and wants a few more days to get back to normal. The USHL and USA hockey are not going to leave this incident alone without a full investigation. Its unlikely that theyre going to embrace any sort of rule change or further restrictions to fighting in the USHL in season, but USA hockey is very passionate about this so I wouldnt be surprised if they adopt the college hockey route, stricter restrictions to fighting in the off-season.
