MONTREAL -- The Hamilton Bulldogs second line had it going Friday night. Michael Blunden scored twice and Gabriel Dumont added another as the Bulldogs defeated the Syracuse Crunch 4-1 in American Hockey League action in front of 8,002 fans at the Bell Centre in Montreal. "Weve been working well since weve been put together," said Blunden of Dumont and Justin Courtnall, his third linemate. "I really enjoy our line. We just have to keep going. "Were playing good hockey right now. Were scoring goals. Things are good right now. Justin and Gabe (Dumont) just work their butts off." Blundens line was responsible for three of four goals, and five total points. "Its been good since the beginning of the year," said Dumont, who scored his first goal of the year mid-way through the second period. "Tonight, the puck went in for our line. We always play well, especially recently. Were playing solidly." Blunden scored late in the first period after a couple of beautiful manoeuvres from Dumont and the 26-year-old forward returned the favour in the third, feeding Dumont to make the score 3-0 at that point. Bulldogs (8-7-3) head coach Sylvain Lefebvre played his second line against Syracuses top line, which includes NHL-calibre players Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov, and was pleased with the result. "Theyre doing the job," said Lefebvre. "Dumont scored, Blunden got two goals. Their line is playing good, solid, physical hockey - really good hockey. All in all, it was a great night. "(Dumont) has had a lot of scoring chances since the start of the season. Scoring his first of the season was a weight lifted off his shoulders Im sure." Goaltender Dustin Tokarski made 25 saves on 26 shots for Hamilton. Syracuses (9-5-2) Jean-Philippe Cote ruined Tokarskis shutout bid late in the third period. Tokarski now has a 2.07 goals-against-average and a .927 save percentage. The Bulldogs opened the scoring when Blunden put his fourth of the year over Crunch goaltender Cedrick Desjardins shoulder at 15:55 of the first. Dumont was instrumental on the play, dodging a hit along the boards and skillfully avoiding a sprawling Luke Witkowksi in front of the net before feeding the puck to Blunden. "We practice 2-on-1s pretty often," said Dumont of the play. "I knew he was going to post up there. I just saw him out there. I knew if I had (Witkowski) beat, when he dove, that if I just left it there for him, he was going to score." Morgan Ellis doubled Hamiltons lead when his slap shot from the blue line beat Desjardins at 11:00 of the second period. It was also his first of the year. The Bulldogs kept pressing and scored again two minutes later on another 2-on-1 when Blunden unselfishly dished the puck to a wide-open Dumont. Syracuse defenceman Cote, who played five seasons with Hamilton and eight career NHL games with the Canadiens in 2005, scored a consolation goal for the Crunch at 15:13 of the third period. Blunden added an empty-netter. With the win, the Bulldogs extended their win streak to three games and jumped to 8th in the Western Conference with 19 points. Syracuse and Hamilton face off again Saturday night at the War Memorial Arena in New York. Notes: Hamilton leading-scorer Sven Andrighetto is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and did not face the Crunch. a Syracuse beat Hamilton 4-1 at the Bell Centre last season in front of 18,582 fans.

MONTREAL -- The losing skid is over and the Montreal Alouettes have their defence to thank. Led by CFL tackles leader Chip Cox, the Alouettes held the slumping Saskatchewan Roughriders to 15 yards on the ground, picked off three Darian Durant passes, sacked him four times and stuffed a third-and-one attempt on the goal line in their 17-12 victory on Sunday. "We win and lose as a team," said Cox, who picked off Durant in the end zone to stop Saskatchewans final drive and secure the win. "The team needed that from us today and thats what we did. "The teams been needing that from us for the last few weeks and we havent been able to pull it through for them. Today, we did and we got the W." Duron Carter scored the only touchdown for Montreal (5-8), which ended a three game losing run. The slotback was named the star of the game as he caught six passes for 152 yards, including a 45-yard effort to set up one of three Sean Whyte field goals. Weston Dressler had the lone TD for the Roughriders (8-5), who lost a fourth game in a row. The highlight for the visitors came about 10 minutes into the opening quarter, when slotback Geroy Simon made history by hauling in his 1,018th career reception, breaking the record of former Alouette Ben Cahoon. He ended the game with 1,020. A message of congratulations from Cahoon was shown on the scoreboard, but the Riders will wait until they are at home Oct. 12 against Edmonton to celebrate his feat. Simon was in no mood for that after the game. "Were just not executing now," the 15-year veteran said. "The defence is holding up their part of the bargain by holding them to minimal points, but I can only speak for the offence. "Were just not making plays we need to make. The leaders have to lead. We just have to figure it out. We have to take a long look in the mirror and ask if were doing everything we need to win." Despite near-perfect sunny weather and the largest crowd of the year at Percival Molson Stadium of 24,105, neither team used the conditions to move the ball consistently. Durant completed 24 of 46 passes for 339 yards, but he missed open receivers repeatedly and threw the three picks. Chris Garrett, filling in for injured running back Kory Sheets, gained nine yards on five carriees.dddddddddddd The Riders have not won in three games since Sheets sprained his right knee against Toronto. Alouettes quarterback Josh Neiswander was good on 21 of 36 passes for 264 yards. He was not intercepted and was never sacked. Montreals woes came from dropped passes and some bumbling moments on special teams. But the defence erased any errors. After Whyte tied the game at 1-1 late in the first quarter, Durant hit Chris Getzlaf with a 70-yard pass that gave the Roughriders first down inside the five. The Alouettes defence stopped all three attempts and took over the ball at the one. Montreal conceded a safety, and Saskatchewan threatened again when it got the ball back, only to see Geoff Tisdale pick off a pass in the end zone. Another Roughriders drive at the end of the third quarter was stopped by a leaping, one-handed interception by Jerald Brown. Troy Smith, now the backup with both Anthony Calvillo and Tanner Marsh injured, got in for two plays in the third and nearly produced a score, but Jerome Messam was stripped of the ball near the goal by Terrell Maze after a long run off a screen pass. The win took some pressure off the Alouettes, who went into the weekend in danger of being caught by the Eskimos for a crossover playoff position, with a showdown coming on Saturday in Edmonton. The Eskimos loss to the Argonauts on Saturday, coupled with the Alouettes win gives Montreal a four-point cushion, each with five games left to play. "The pressures still on us," said Cox. "We need to win more games. "Were not in the playoffs, so we cant just go home and relax. We have to play even better next week (Saturday in Edmonton) to get another W." The Alouettes led 4-3 at the intermission, but Ricky Schmitt tied the game with one of his three punt singles on the opening drive of the second half. Neiswander hit Carter with a short pass and saw the slotback zig-zag his way for a 45-yard touchdown at 13:12 of the third quarter. Durant struck back to open the fourth, as he hit Taj Smith, Simon, and Dressler with passes before finding Dressler uncovered at the Montreal goal-line to tie the game at 3:05. Montreal went ahead on Whytes 40-yard boot at 6:18. After another Rider single, Whyte hit from 19 yards with 1:32 left to play.
