FIRST PERIOD
The Sea Dogs strike early in this game as Stephen
MacAulay dents the twine at the 3:11 mark scoring off a nice feed from Ryan
Tesink. Of note this is MacAulay's first goal of the season that did not come
on the power play. 1-0 Dogs.
The Sea Dogs score again at the 6:46 mark on a bit of a
strange goal with Ryan Tesink scoring from behind the net. Tesink threw the
puck out front and it hit the stick of Lavoie and found its way into the back of
the net. 2-0 Dogs.
The Sea Dogs wouldn't stop there adding their third goal
of the opening frame at the 13:44 mark when Michael Mastrangelo buried a pass
from Noah Zilbert. It was Mastranelo's first goal and point in the QMJHL and
Zilbert also registered his first Quebec League point with the assist. Also add
an assist for Andreas Tsogkas on this play. 3-0 Dogs.
The Screaming Eagles would get on the board a short time
later when the always dangerous William Carrier tipped home his 11th of the
season at 15:10 to round out the 1st period scoring. Assists went to Lavoie and
Hache. 3-1 Dogs.
There were two real nice hits in the first period by Cuomo
on Oligny and later a big hit by Repe on rookie Cole Murphy.
SECOND PERIOD
Hard to top the 1st period ...
Woodworth took a penalty for interference but shortly
after Huberdeau matched the infraction with one of his own. Alexandre Lavoie managed to bring the Eagles
to within one on the shortened power play on a brilliant feed from a falling
William Carrier at the 7:15 mark. Give assists on the Lavoie goal to Carrier
and Kyle Farrell. 3-2 Dogs.
The Sea Dogs managed to get that one back at 14:10 when a
rewarded Marcus Cuomo buried his 2nd of the season. Cuomo spent much of the night on the Sea Dogs
second line with Oliver Cooper and Stephen Anderson. Give assists on Cuomo's
goal to Huberdeau and LeBlanc. 4-2 Dogs.
The Sea Dogs began the third period down a man with Repe
in the box. Sebastien Auger made a huge glove save to keep the game 4-2 and
then Gagne got caught pinching but a nice breakup play by Jason Seed canceled
out the two-on-one play.
Oligny and Cuomo continued their battle into the third period
when the two decided to drop the gloves but it was broke up immediately and they
never had a chance to start chucking.
Almost midway through the final stanza Kevin Gagne marked
his milestone night by wristing home his 3rd of the season on a two-on-one keep
with MacAulay at 8:43 of the 3rd period. Assists on Gagne's goal went to
MacAulay and Huberdeau. 5-2 Dogs.
It didn't take long for the Dogs to strike again. At 10:20,
Jakub Izacky buried his fourth of the season from Marcus Cuomo and Jason Seed.
That made it 6-2 Saint John.
That marked the end of the night for Trudeau as the Eagles
brought in rookie netminder Alex Bureau and he stopped all four shots he faced the
rest of the way.
