Our recap. The Sea Dogs won their 13th consecutive home
game on Friday night, defeating the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 5-2.
The Telegraph-Journal’s recap. "We came out a little
soft in the first period and we didn't have many shots," Scott Oke said.
"We talked a bit in the room (during the intermission) since we didn't
show up too much in the first. We started being first on the puck, driving the
net and using our speed to support each other."
The Cape Breton Post’s recap. Also known as the
Telegraph-Journal’s recap.
The Canadian Press’ recap. Scott Oke scored a goal and
assisted on another as the Sea Dogs defeated the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles
5-2 Friday. Tomas Jurco, Danick Gauthier, Grant West and Nathan Beaulieu also
scored for Saint John (22-7-1), which currently holds a narrow two-point lead
over the Quebec Remparts for first place.
SN Live Blog replay. Three fights in this one.
MISSING IN ACTION: Forwards Aidan Kelly (upper-body),
Jonathan Huberdeau (foot) and Stanislav Galiev (wrist) all missed the contest.
McKenzie Brown and Stephen Anderson, who both made the trip to Quebec City with
the team on Tuesday, were assigned back to junior ‘A,’ according to News 88.9
Also according to News 88.9, Galiev is back in Saint John
after undergoing wrist surgery in Washington DC earlier this week. He is out
for six weeks at least.
Denis Creighton, who was scratched on Tuesday, returned
to the Sea Dogs lineup.
Jurco had a solid game, scoring a goal, a +1 rating and
three shots.
PHILLIPS: With an assist on Nathan Beaulieu’s third
period goal, Zack Phillips extended his league high and team record point streak
to 18 games. He has 11 goals and 23 assists over that span.
FIRST PERIOD: The Sea Dogs played a very “blah” first
period, recording just four shots to the Eagles’ nine. Saint John also recorded
three penalties in the opening frame but Cape Breton was unable to connect on
any of their man advantage chances.
GAUTHIER: After failing to
score in his past two games, the Sea Dogs’ leading goal scorer got back on track
on Friday as Danick Gauthier fired home his 25th goal in just his 28th
goal of the season in the second period. What a season.
HOME RECORD: The Sea Dogs tied a team record on Friday,
recording their 13th straight win on home ice. They can break that
record tonight against this same Eagles team.
Saint John has been flat out dominant at Harbour Station
this year, outscoring opponents 77-33.
ROAD PP: The Eagles showed last night that their power play quite is terrible, going 0-for-5. Their overall power play rating
this year is 18.2%, good for 15th in the league. Their road power
play is operating at a miserable 7.4% this season.
CROWD: Small crowd of 3,475 on hand for this one, meaning
3,475 people didn’t travel down to Bangor to wait in line at Target for six
hours.
The Sea Dogs play five of their next six games at Harbour
Station.
FIGHT NIGHT: For a game that wasn’t overly feisty or
nasty, there were three fights. They were: Grant West vs Blake Millman, Ian Saab vs
Ramon Hrabarenka, and Denis Creighton vs Kyle Campbell. We’ll post the videos
when they become available.
HIGHLIGHTS: Here are the SeaDogsTV highlights.
QUICK HITS: Scott Oke had a goal and an assist…
Charles-Olivier Roussel had two assists… Danick Gauthier had a Sea Dogs high
four shots… David Rose had four shots for Cape Breton… Ryan Tesink had five
hits… Rose had four hits… Philippe Trudeau relieved Alexandre Veronneau in the
Eagles net in the third period. He faced just one shot in 15:05 minutes of
action.
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs host the Eagles again tonight at
7pm at the Station.
