MONTREAL -- The Hamilton Bulldogs couldnt recover from two goals in quick succession. Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Buddy Robinson scored 43 seconds apart in the second period to lead the Binghamton Senators to a 4-1 victory over the Bulldogs in American Hockey League action Friday night at the Bell Centre. The goals came off defensive lapses - missed coverage, and a mistake by goaltender Dustin Tokarski. Pageau was left alone in the slot for the equalizer, and Robinson benefited from Tokarskis lax play for the winner. "Those were two gifts. We gave them those goals," said Bulldogs coach Sylvain Lefebvre. "Those were glaring mistakes." With Hamilton leading 1-0 in the second period, the Senators tied the game at 15:00 when Pageau beat Tokarski above the glove into a gaping top corner. Pageau was left unmarked just outside the crease following a defensive breakdown, and could make no mistake from such close range. Robinson put Binghamton ahead less than a minute later, slotting home his ninth of the year past a sprawling Bulldogs goaltender. After an initial shot from the point, Tokarksi tried to smother the puck with his glove, but Senators forward Derek Grant got to it before him. Grant poked it out to a wide-open Robinson. "Its tough to come back from that," said Lefebvre. "Those really hurt your confidence. And were in a tough stretch right now, so confidence isnt coming easy to us. Sometimes we get discouraged too easily." The Bulldogs (22-24-5) found no way back after the abrupt turnaround. Instead, they were kept at bay by Binghamton (33-15-4) netminder Andrew Hammond, who was in fine form. Hammond made 31 saves, including 10 in the third period, for his 17th win of the season. Hamilton is slumping of late. Theyve gone 2-7-1 in their last 10 games, and have only scored four times in their last three. "Thats the story of our season so far," said forward Gabriel Dumont, who was kept off the score sheet for the fourth straight game. "Were trying to keep it simple and drive to the net, put pucks on the net, but were having trouble finding the back of the net." Dumont, whos played two games with the Montreal Canadiens this season, has been a Bulldog for the last four years. His struggling team has fallen to 13th in the Western Conference, and is eight points out of a playoff spot. "Its a frustrating season with some highs, and a lot of lows," he added. "Were still looking for consistency. Tonight, we were only able to score one goal." The goal was Nick Tarnaskys, and it opened the scoring at 4:18 of the second period. The six-foot-two Bulldogs forward used defenceman Mike Sdao as a screen to fool Hammond with a shot between the legs. "I got a lucky bounce at the blue-line," said Tarnasky, who was on a partial breakaway when he entered the Binghamton zone. "I heard somebody yelling: Youre on a two-on-one. But I wasnt. I was going to pass, but there was nobody there. "It was lucky enough that (Sdao) was coming across at the same time as I shot it. I dont think the goaltender was able to see it. That play gave us a little lift at the time." But it was all Binghamton after their two quick strikes later in the frame. Andre Petersson scored on a great individual effort at 12:29 of the third period to seal the victory, and Mike Hoffman added another in an empty net in the games final two minutes. Hoffman has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in his past five games. Hes second in the AHL in points with 65. Tokarski made 18 saves. There was little love lost between the teams to start the game. Tarnasky and Binghamtons Darren Kramer set the tone before the encounter even got underway, exchanging words and a few slashes during the pre-game warm-up. Tarnasky and Kramer waited only seven minutes into the game to solve their differences, dropping the gloves to earn fighting majors. Jarred Tinordi and the Senators Mark Borowiecki also fought in a first period that saw 34 penalty-minutes doled out by the referees.

Im very excited about the playoffs, particularly in the Western Conference with amazing match-ups, as well as the wonderful local story in the Toronto Raptors. It should be a blast. Here are my predictions, but based upon my lousy prognostications during the NCAA Tournament, you might be better off going the other way on some of mine - particularly with the Raptors, who I hope and pray are able to win an incredibly difficult match-up.TORONTO - Everything seems to be going right for centre Tyler Bozak at the moment.Bozak led the way with a pair of goals on Saturday as the Toronto Maple Leafs downed the Washington Capitals 6-2. He now has five goals and two assists during a four-game point streak.Its nice. The puck is kind of following me around a little bit, playing confident and line mates are making great plays for me, said Bozak. Hopefully it can keep going for a bit.The Leafs knew they had the Capitals on the tail end of a three-game, four night stretch and wanted to pounce early.Toronto did just that, scoring twice on its first six shots in the first period and two more times on its first six shots of the second period.I think tonight we were fortunate that we were playing a team that was coming off a back-to-back and we were able to score the first goal, said coach Randy Carlyle. We jumped on a hockey club.Thats what youre supposed to do when youre in your own building when you get a team on the back end of a back-to-back.Morgan Rielly and Cody Franson both scored on Torontos first six shots, sending Capitals starter Justin Peters to the bench for the second period.Braden Holtby didnt fair much better in relief, allowing Bozak to score on the first shot he faced. David Clarkson then scored his seventh of the season on just the sixth shot of the second period.Bozak added his second of the night at 15:36 of the second while Joffrey Lupul had the other goal for the Leafs late in the third.Peters returned for the third and made eight saves while Holtby was saddled with the loss after making nine saves.Youre trying to change the momentum after the first, thats why the goalie change (happened), said coach Barry Trotz. First shift, we turn it over and it ends up in the net. (Holtby) couldnt do anything one that one.But those are critical moments. Things werent going our way. We didnt have a bad first period in here.Troy Brouwer and Tom Wilson had the Washington (10-9-4) goals.Before the game, the Leafs honoured former player, head coach and general manager Pat Quinn, who died at age 71 on Sunday after a long battle with an illness. A moment of silence was observed followed by a video montage of some of the most memorable moments of Quinns career. Toronto players wore patches with Quinns initials on their shoulders.With the win, Toronto (12-8-3) improved to 8-6-0 on home ice this season and 9-0-0 when scoring first and scoring four or more goals.Rielly opened the scoring at 14:15 of the first as his point shot hit a couple Capitals in front of the net before getting past Peters for his third of the season.Franson made it 2-0, on a power play, beating a screened Peters five-hole for his ffourth of the season.dddddddddddd Franson now has 12 points in his last 12 games.With his assist on Fransons goal, Mike Santorelli picked up his 100th career NHL point.Bozak made it a three-goal lead 23 seconds into the second after tapping home a James van Reimsdyk feed for his 10th.After Brouwer got the Capitals on the board at 10:27 of the second with his sixth of the season, Clarkson restored Torontos three-goal edge.Bozak gave Toronto a 5-1 lead after redirecting a Phil Kessel feed up and over the shoulder of Holtby for his 11th of the season. The power-play goal tied Bozak with Kessel for the team-lead.Wilson and Lupul traded goals in the third.Torontos power play, which was 1-for-23 entering Saturdays game, went 3-for-4.It was nice to see that our power play finally came to life and create some offence in the hockey game for us, said Carlyle. I thought we played half the game the way we wanted and then we kind of got away from our game, but how do you critique a 6-2 win?Leo Komarov took an elbow to the head from Alex Ovechkin early in the first minute of the third period and did not return.Carlyle was asked if Komarov went through concussion protocol following the hit.Well he didnt feel good so thats what we did, said Carlyle. We held him out and hes going to be having further evaluation. He seems fine now, but they all seem to be fine.As for the hit, Carlyle said, I thought it was kind of oops I hit you on purpose.During a fight with Wilson late in the third period, Torontos Korbinian Holzer struck linesman Steve Miller with a punch while linesman Greg Devorski was trying to restrain him.That was not intentional— I had my jersey in my face. I just threw a punch and I accidentally got the linesman, said Holzer of the incident. Im really sorry for that and I hope hes fine, If theres a chance, Id like to go by apologize.The Leaf defenceman and Wilson each received five minutes for fighting and 10 minute misconducts.Holzer is hoping the league understands his strike on Miller was accidental and that there will be no repercussions for his actions. I hope they see that was not intentional, he said. Im not a guy that goes after the linesman or the referees in general. Im sorry for that and I hope hes fine.The Leafs continue their season-high five game home stand on Tuesday when the Dallas Stars visit.Notes: In addition to Quinn the Leafs paid tribute to Murray Oliver with a moment of silence pre-game. The Washington Capitals recalled defenseman Steven Oleksy from their AHL affiliate in Hershey on Saturday and placed Mike Green (upper body) on injured reserve. Leafs forward Richard Panik was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. ' ' '
