A collection of recaps from last night’s 3-1 Saint John
Sea Dogs victory over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada…
Our recap. Ryan Tesink, Tomas Jurco and
Nathan Beaulieu couldn’t have returned to the Saint John Sea Dogs lineup at a
better time.
Nord Info’s recap. Mathieu Corbeil had a good night in
net.
SaintJohnSeaDogs.com’s recap. Returnees lift Sea Dogs
to fourth straight win.
Live Blog Replay. In our minds, Christopher Clapperton is
an all-star.
STILL MISSING: The Sea Dogs are still without the
services of Jonathan Huberdeau as he continues to try and crack the Florida
Panthers roster. The Panthers take on the Dallas Stars in Texas tonight.
BEAULIEU RETURNS: Nathan Beaulieu made an immediate
impact in his first game back from Montreal Canadiens training camp. The Habs
first rounder had a goal, an assist, registered six shots and was a +2.

JURCO RETURNS: Tomas Jurco also made an impact in his
first game back from training camp. The Detroit Red Wings second rounder
scored, added an assist, fired four shots and was a +2 in the win.

SAAB SKATING: According to News 88.9, Ian Saab is skating
with the team but was still was unable to play last night. The defenseman has been
nursing a shoulder injury since returning from Vancouver Canucks rookie camp.
POSTAL SERVICE: The Sea Dogs hit two posts in the first
period as both Pierre Durepos and Tomas Jurco found iron. Aidan
Kelly hit the post in the early parts of the third period.
FIRST ROAD WIN: Yesterday’s victory was the first Sea
Dogs road win of the year. Their previous two contests away from Harbour
Station saw the Dogs fall 8-1 in Bathurst and 8-5 in Cape Breton.
STREAKING: The Sea Dogs and Armada are heading in
opposite directions. Saint John improved to 4-3 on the year and are winners of
four straight. Boisbriand on the other hand are losers if five straight and
fell to 3-5.
ROUGH STUFF: There was plenty of rough stuff after
whistles throughout the match which seemed a bit odd given these two teams only
play each other twice a season. Only two separate incidents resulted in
roughing penalties.
NEW PLACE: Of course, it was the first time the Sea Dogs played a match in Boisbriand at the fairly new Centre d'excellence Sports Rousseau. The
building has grey and red seats around each side of the rink and one end zone.
There is a wall at the other end zone and for some reason part of the corner seats in
that end aren’t curved. The webcast was solid and is probably top 10 in the
league.
FIRST: On September 16, 2005, the Sea Dogs were the first
Atlantic Canadian opponent of the St. John’s Fog Devils. On September 26, 2008,
the Sea Dogs were the first Atlantic Canadian team to play the Montreal Junior.
Last night, the Sea Dogs were the first Atlantic Canadian opponent of the
Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. How strange.
OUT OF TOWN: P.E.I. 2 at Cape Breton 5; Victoriaville 6
at Chicoutimi 5 (SO)
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs continue their three-game road
trip on Friday in Drummondville against the Voltigeurs. Game time is 8pm.
