There were no wins, but still a couple of points for the Nicol Insurance Kincardine Bulldogs on the weekend.
Kincardine dropped two overtime decisions on the weekend, one to Walkerton Friday night at home and one in Mitchell Sunday evening.
"We played well this weekend," said head coach Shawn Burrows. "Obviously we would have loved to win those games, but we are happy with a two-point weekend against two very good teams."
The two points do move Kincardine out of sixth place and into fifth in the Pollock Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The Bulldogs are now 2-4-0-2 in regular season action.
Friday night at home, the 'Dogs were badly outshot and trailed for the majority of the game but were able to force overtime against the visiting Walkerton Hawks.
