At 19:53 of the third period, Jonathan Huberdeau recorded his 41st goal of the season into an empty cage to complete the Saint John Sea Dogs’ 4-1 victory over the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.
But the goal was big for another reason as the marker represented the 17-year olds 100th point of the 2010-11 campaign. Huberdeau is the first Sea Dog in team history to ever reach the triple digit plateau.
Huberdeau now has 41 goals and 59 assists in 64 games played in this season. He now owns the Sea Dogs records for points and assists in one season.
A top-prospect for the 2011 National Hockey League Entry Draft, Huberdeau seems to improve with every game. He has certainly improved on his totals from last season when the then rookie recorded 35 points 61 games.
Going into action this afternoon, the centre was third in league scoring behind Acadie-Bathurst’s Gabriel Levesque and Gatineau’s Philip-Michael Devos. Levesque has 104 points and Devos has 108, respectively.
The Sea Dogs’ leading scorer still has three games remaining on the schedule to improve on his totals. Whether or not he plays in all of those games remains to be seen.
Congrats Jo
