FINAL: Saint John 1, Quebec 5

Jonathan Roy/Quebec Remparts

QUEBEC, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs couldn't complete the sweep on Saturday at Videotron Centre.

After winning the first two games of this Quebec road trip in similar fashion, the Sea Dogs didn't have another come-from-behind, overtime victory in them, falling 5-1 to the Quebec Remparts.

The Sea Dogs didn't play all that bad against a Remparts team that has similar numbers to them. Saint John tied the game at 1-1 just 33 seconds into the middle frame but it would be Quebec headlining the rest of the period, scoring three times on 10 shots to take a 4-1 lead into the third period.

Justin Robinson was pulled after allowing four goals on 16 shots through 40 minutes of play. Rafaël Courchesne played the third.

The Sea Dogs couldn't get much going in terms of quality chances in the third. Nathan Quinn scored on a man advantage at 11:31 to make it 5-1 Remparts and really put the game away.

Along with Quinn, Cal Uens scored a pair of goals for Quebec while other singles came from Logan Brennan and Ryan Howard. Louis-Antoine Denault made 23 saves in the win.

Alexander Donovan scored Saint John's lone goal. Courchesne allowed a goal on eight shots in the third.

Despite the loss, winning two of three on a Quebec road trip is always an accomplishment. We'll see what the positives from this trip will do for the Sea Dogs as they head into the final week of the first half.

QUEBEC, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to make it a perfect road trip today at Videotron Centre.

The Sea Dogs are coming off back-to-back come-from-behind overtime victories, defeating the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 4-3 on Wednesday and Chicoutimi Sagueneens 6-5 on Thursday. Tonight they'll look to sweep this road trip when they face the Quebec Remparts at 5 p.m. Atlantic.

The Remparts sit just three points ahead of the Sea Dogs in the overall standings. Quebec has, however, played two fewer games.

Saint John entered this road trip on a six-game losing streak. Now the Sea Dogs, who are 7-6-1-0 on the road this season, will try and win three consecutive games for just the second time this season.

Alexis (Joseph) on fire

What a stretch it's been for Alexis Joseph.

Joseph has posted three goals and three assists in the first two games of the Saint John Sea Dogs' three-game road trip, helping guide the team to back-to-back come-from-behind overtime victories.

On Wednesday, Joseph scored twice – including the overtime winner – in Saint John's 4-3 win over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. He had four shots in that game.

On Thursday, Joseph had one of his most impressive performances to date, posting a goal and three assists in Saint John's 6-5 overtime win over the Chicoutimi Sagueneens. He set a career high for both assists and points in a single game. Joseph was also a +4 and had four shots.

The 16-year-old gave Saint John a 5-4 lead late in the third period with a beautiful drive to the net.

Jo with an absolute beauty.

He showed off his range of skill again in overtime, driving the play that led to Angelo Fullerton's game-winner.

And of course, the Angel-OT winner.

Despite being the first overall pick in June's QMJHL Entry Draft, Joseph has been flying a bit under the radar early this season – but he probably shouldn't be. He now has 12 goals and 14 assists in 23 games, placing him sixth in QMJHL rookie scoring.

Since returning from the Under-17 World Challenge, Jospeh has seven goals and nine assists in 11 games.

Recap: Sea Dogs win 6-5 (OT)

FINAL: Saint John 6, Chicoutimi 5 (OT)

Bruno Girard/Chicoutimi Sagueneens

CHICOUTIMI, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs pulled off a major upset on Thursday night.

Angelo Fullerton scored just 23 seconds into overtime to give the Sea Dogs a 6-5 win over the Chicoutimi Sagueneens at the Georges Vezina Centre. The Sagueneens entered the game with the second best record in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League and were ranked fifth in this week's CHL Top 10 rankings.

Not only did the Sea Dogs win, but they pulled off a multi-goal comeback for a second straight game. Saint John erased 2-0, 3-2 and 4-3 deficits in the victory. Alexis Joseph gave Saint John their first lead of the game at 18:20 of the third period only to have Chicoutimi tie it at 5-5 just 16 seconds later.

Fullerton gave the Sea Dogs their second straight overtime win of this road trip. The night before saw Saint John erase a 3-0 deficit and go on to earn a 4-3 win in Baie-Comeau. Wednesday's victory ended a six-game losing streak for the Sea Dogs. They've now won back-to-back games for the first time since mid-November.

This road trip could be a turning point in Saint John's season. We'll have to wait and see, but it's possible.

The Sea Dogs are now 7-6-1-0 on the road this season.

Along with Fullerton and Joseph, Zachary Morin, Olivier Groulx, Alexander Donovan and Justin Gendron scored for Saint John. The Sea Dogs were outshot 49-23 in the game with Rafaël Courchesne making 44 saves in the win.

Maxim Masse had a hat trick for Chicoutimi while Christophe Berthelot and Thomas Desruisseaux added singles. Raphaël Précourt allowed six goals on 23 shots in the loss.

The Sea Dogs will finish the season with a 2-0 record against the Sagueneens thanks to this 6-5 win and another one on Oct. 5 at TD Station. Précourt, who has the QMJHL's best goals against average, allowed five goals on 18 shots in that October game. 

Game Day 29: at Chicoutimi

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

CHICOUTIMI, QC - The losing streak is over. Now we'll see what kind of momentum the Saint John Sea Dogs can maintain from last night's win.

The Sea Dogs won their first game since Nov. 20 last night, defeating the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 4-3 in overtime. The victory ended a six-game losing streak, one that saw Saint John tumble to 17th overall.

Saint John will try and make it back-to-back wins tonight – but it certainly won't be easy. They'll face the Chicoutimi Sagueneens – who currently sit second in the QMJHL standings and were ranked fifth in this week's CHL Top 10 – on the big ice at the Georges Vezina Centre. Game time is 8 p.m.

This is the second game of a three-game Quebec road trip for Saint John – and, on paper, this will be the toughest. They visit the Quebec Remparts on Saturday.

Records: The Sea Dogs are 11-16-1-0 for 23 points (ninth Eastern/17th QMJHL) while the Sagueneens are 18-5-2-2 for 40 points (second Eastern/second QMJHL).

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 4-3 overtime win in Baie-Comeau last night. Alexis Joseph had two goals for Saint John while Dylan Rozzi and Angelo Fullerton added singles. Justin Robinson made 25 saves in the win. The Sagueneens are coming off a 7-6 overtime loss to the Drakkar on Sunday. Maxim Masse and Maxim Schafer both scored twice for Chicoutimi while singles came from Alexandre Desmarais and Nathan Lecompte. Tomas Gagne made 18 stops in the loss.

Recap: Sea Dogs win 4-3 (OT)

FINAL: Saint John 4, Baie-Comeau 3 (OT)

Kassandra Blais/Baie-Comeau Drakkar

BAIE-COMEAU, QC - It wasn't easy, but the Saint John Sea Dogs ended their six-game losing streak on Wednesday night.

The Sea Dogs erased a 3-0 deficit and scored four unanswered goals to defeat the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 4-3 in overtime at the building formerly known as the Henry Leonard Centre. Alexis Joseph drew a penalty in the extra frame and then scored the game-winner.

This was Saint John's first win since Nov. 20 and they certainly didn't make it easy on themselves. The Drakkar led 2-0 after one thanks to a Saint John turnover that led to a breakaway goal and an unlucky deflection in front of the net. Then just 2:19 into the second, another Sea Dogs turnover led to another Drakkar goal to give the home side a 3-0 lead.

To Saint John's credit, they didn't fold. Dylan Rozzi scored at 13:16 of the second and then Joseph cut the deficit to 3-2 just under two-minutes later. The goals seemed to give Saint John some added energy heading into the third.

Angelo Fullerton tied the game just 2:30 into the final frame and Saint John killed off a lengthy five-on-three Drakkar power play to ultimately send the match to overtime, setting up Joseph's heroics.

Justin Robinson made 25 saves in the win.

Alexis Michaud, Mattias Gilbert and Joseph Cadorin scored for Baie-Comeau. Samuel Caulfield made 37 stops in the loss.

After a tumultuous few weeks, this feels like a massive win for the Sea Dogs, one they can hopefully build off of moving forward. The Drakkar are the lone team that sit below the Sea Dogs in the standings and a loss in this game would have been a tough one to handle.
