By Benjamin Priebe

The Belleville Bulls defeated the 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday night in front of 2,571 fans. Confident after an 8-2 triumph over the Frontenacs on Friday, the Bulls re- turned to the Yardmen Arena introducing new addition . Quine, a 2012 third round draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings, was picked up at trade deadline on Jan. 10. Bulls goaltender Charlie Graham got the nod over on Sat- urday night and gave a solid performance in his backup role. Quine made the most of his home de- but by opening the scoring with a wrist shot over the shoulder of Spitfires goalie Jaroslav Pavelka at 11:20 in the first pe- riod, assisted by Daniil Zharkov. At 11:43, Zharkov fed Jake Cardwell a skillful pass and he snuck a shot through Pavelka’s legs to give the Bulls a quick 2-0 lead. Spitfires shifted gears in the second pe- riod with Josh Ho-Sang and Ben Johnson setting up Brady Vail with a wide-open net early on. The Bulls began to feel pres- sure when Alexander Khokhlachev sunk another shot on Graham later in the pe- riod. The Bulls recovered the lead quickly with a tic-tac-toe passing play executed by Garrett Hooey and Niki Petti giving Micheal Curtis a low slot goal at 18:48 of the second frame. In the third period, Khokhlachev put the Bulls back into danger with a goal during a five on three power play with a few minutes left. The game continued through a tense overtime. Both teams battled, but did not score, leading to an edge-of-the-seat shootout with Windsor shooting first.
