After coming up empty on an early power play opportunity, the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute of play on Saturday when free agent forward Phillip Fife knocked home the first goal of the pre-season for the Port City’s major junior squad. Team Captain Mike Thomas doubled Saint John’s advantage a few minutes later, getting the puck past star Halifax goalie Peter Delmas to give the Sea Dogs a two-goal lead as the match reached the twenty minute mark.
Import winger Stanislav Galiev put the home team up by three early in the second period with a four-on-four goal, with Mike Thomas netting a power play marker nine minutes later to give his team a 4-0 lead. The Mooseheads got one back a moment later when sophomore winger Carl Gélinas beat recently-installed goalie Richard Tingley to send Saturday’s showdown into intermission number two with the visitors trailing by three.
Neither team managed to find the back of the net over the course of the closing twenty minutes of play, as the final buzzer ultimately sounded with the hosts having earned a three-goal victory. These two teams will meet again on Sunday afternoon at the Halifax Forum. The puck drops at 4:30pm.
