ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- It was a textbook bounce-back game for the Hamilton Bulldogs. A night after losing 5-1 to the league-leading Abbotsford Heat, the Bulldogs replied with a 3-0 victory Saturday in American Hockey League action. "We got a little bit embarrassed yesterday," said Hamiltons Patrick Holland. "Against a good team youre going to get embarrassed on any night you dont come out to play." Hamilton had just three shots on goal in the first period Friday but in the rematch the Bulldogs not only outshot the host Heat but also scored the games first goal. "We came out on a clean slate, tried to work hard and keep it simple," said Holland, who picked up the goal. "We got some lucky bounces off the start and put one in. Its rare for our team this year to get the first one. That really pumped the guys up." Holland finished off a solo effort by Brendan Gallagher. Gallagher fought off a check behind the net and centred to Holland, who one-timed it past the glove of Abbotsford goaltender Danny Taylor at 4:23 in the first period. "I love playing with (Gallagher)," said Holland. "He wins a lot of battles on the ice and thats exactly what he did on the goal -- him and (Gabriel) Dumont both won their battles. The puck popped out to me and I just kind of chipped it over the goalie. It was a bit of luck, a bit of hard work, a bit of right place, right time." Holland was a Calgary Flames draft pick in 2010 and notched 109 points in the Western Hockey League last season but was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens in the Mike Cammalleri trade. "Its kind of funny that I know most of the guys over there, just from the camps," said Holland. "So there was a little added, not necessarily pressure, but excitement for the game for me." Cedrick Desjardins made 24 saves for his first shutout of the season and 15th of his AHL career. "It really helps the team out when we get big saves like you see night-in and night-out," said Holland. "(Both of our goalies) make highlight reel saves to keep us in games. Any good team is going to need that." Desjardins made a huge save while his club killed a penalty to Gallagher. Ben Street centred the puck to Tyler Ruegsegger right in front but Desjardins squeezed his pads together, preserving his teams one-goal lead. "We didnt make the most of our opportunities," said Ruegsegger. "We had some chances, the puck didnt go in the net. He made a couple big saves." Robert Mayer played in net for Hamilton on Friday and was the victim of four power-play goals, but having Desjardins lead the team onto the ice made an instant difference. "(Desjardins) brings the team confidence," said Levebvre. "He breathes confidence. It shows. The guys like to play in front of him." Steve Quailer and Louis Leblanc also scored for Hamilton (7-9-2), who won for just the third time in their last 10 games. However, the win allows them to crawl out of the league basement. "If I was the coach over there, Id be proud of how they handled the 5-1 loss," said Abbotsford head coach Troy Ward of his Hamilton counterpart. "They came back, and they pushed pretty hard." After T.J. Brodie was sent off for roughing early in the third period Hamilton padded their lead. Stefan Chaputs shot from the face-off circle was kicked right to Quailer in front of the net where he tucked it around Taylors outstretched pad. It was a rare goal conceded by Abbotsfords penalty killing unit, which ranks first in the league. Hamilton made it 3-0 on a strange goal. Leblanc threw the puck toward the net from the sideboards and it seemed to deflect off of Heat defenceman Joe Callahans skate and in at 4:37. Taylor finished with 24 saves while Abbotsford (13-3-4) lost a game in regulation for the first time on home ice this season, but are still two points up on Syracuse for top spot in the AHL.

Smiths steal, jam and free throw with 31 seconds remaining extended Atlantas lead and the Hawks held on to beat the Denver Nuggets 108-104 on Wednesday night. Smith had 16 points and 13 rebounds on his 27th birthday. He called his three-point play "icing on the cake." "I kind of anticipated the play," Smith said of his steal from Ty Lawson. "I saw Corey Brewer coming and I wanted to go to the basket strong." Brewer was called for a foul. Smith added the free throw for a 106-101 lead, giving the Hawks the ability to withstand a late 3-pointer by Andre Iguodala. Al Horford led the Hawks with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Lou Williams, who had 16 points, made four free throws in the final minute. Hawks coach Larry Drew called the win "a gutsy performance" as his team bounced back from Fridays 113-111 loss to Cleveland that snapped a six-game winning streak. "Im just happy that we pushed through it," Drew said. "The difference was we kept pushing. We didnt break. We didnt bend." The double-doubles by Horford and Smith helped give the Hawks a 47-40 rebounding advantage over the Nuggets, who lead the NBA in offensive rebounds and rank second in overall rebounds. "That was one of the points of emphasis," Horford said. "Coach talked about how good they are on the glass. We took the challenge and as a team we did a good job." Lawson led Denver with his season-high 32 points. Brewer had 19. Denver coach George Karl said the Nuggets helped the Hawks with their 20 turnovers and poor rebounding. "We thought fundamentally rebounding and turnovers were going to be the keys to the game," Karl said. "We just didnt do a good enough job there. "We gave them way too many extra possessions. In the end it hurt us in a close loss." The Hawks began the night leading the NBA with 18 turnovers forced per game. Lawson had four turnovers, including two in the final minute. "I feel baad for him," Karl said.dddddddddddd "He had a great game going. He was the best player on the court for most of the night until the turnovers at the end. He just had a big-time game. "We need some other guys to jump in and start playing well, too." Two free throws by Danilo Gallinari with 2:34 remaining gave Denver its first lead of the final period at 98-97. Lawsons 3-pointer gave Denver a 101-99 advantage before Horford hit a tying jumper. Following a missed jumper by Denvers Kenneth Faried, Williams made two free throws. Smith then delivered the key three-point play. "Weve just got to get better in late-game situations -- me included," Lawson said. "Letting teams get offensive rebounds, putbacks and turnovers, thats what killed us tonight. If we could have controlled that we could have won by at least 15 points." The Nuggets were without centre Kosta Koufos, who remained at the team hotel with the flu. Timofey Mozgov had six points and 13 rebounds in his first start of the season. The Hawks had first-half success with their big lineup, with Zaza Pachulia at centre and Horford shifting from centre to power forward. The big lineup usually benefits Horford, who has room for more scoring opportunities away from the basket. Pachulia also thrived with extended playing time, scoring all 11 of his points in the second quarter as the Hawks took a 55-51 halftime lead. The Hawks biggest lead was 73-62 at the end of a 10-0 run in the third period. Gallinari had 16 points and JaVale McGee had 11 for Denver. Iguodala shot only 2 of 10 for five points, including the late 3-pointer, and a game-high seven turnovers. Devin Harris had 12 points for Atlanta. Williams led the Hawks with six assists.
