HAMILTON, Ont. - Justin Mercier had two goals and Tyler Weiman made 31 saves as the Lake Erie Monsters defeated the Hamilton Bulldogs 3-2 on Saturday night in the AHL.

Despite outshooting Lake Erie 33-17 in the game, Hamilton could not get the puck past Monsters goaltender Weiman until the final minutes of the game.

Mercier rifled a shot past starting Hamilton netminder Cedrick Desjardins at 4:43 to open the scoring in the first period.

Lake Erie took a 2-0 lead at 5:40 of the final frame when Matthew Ford took a pass from Patrick Bordeleau then wristed shot that beat Desjardins over the blocker.

The Bulldogs cut the lead to one at 17:49 of the third period when P.K. Subban carried the puck end-to-end and dished to J.T. Wyman, who beat Weiman with a shot between the legs.

Mercier added his second goal of the game at 19:14, intercepting the puck in the neutral zone before sending a shot into the open net to give the Monsters a 3-1 lead.

Ben Maxwell redirected a Mathieu Carle shot from the point in the dying seconds, but it was too late as Hamilton could not tie the game.
