RECAP: Ouch. Dogs Lose 6-1.

FINAL: Saint John 1, Rouyn-Noranda 6

ROUYN-NORANDA, Que. – A night after posting a 2-0 win in Val-d’Or, the Saint John Sea Dogs came crashing back down to earth.

The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies scored three times in the second and third periods to defeat the Sea Dogs 6-1 at Iamgold Arena on Friday. The win snaps a five-game losing streak for the Huskies while the Sea Dogs ended their final three-game Quebec road trip of the season with a 1-2 record.

Marcus Power had two goals for the Huskies while singles came from Jeremy Lauzon, Francis Beauvillier, Julien Nantel, and Liam O’Brien. Former Charlottetown Islander Jack Nevins had three assists. Alexandre Belanger only had to make 15 saves for the win.

Matthew Highmore scored the game’s first goal in the second period but that would be Saint John’s only marker in this one. Chase Gaudet, called up this week to replace the injured Antoine Landry, made 41 saves in his Sea Dogs debut.

The Sea Dogs struggled to get much going offensively in this game. They only recorded 16 shots in the game – three of them being considered dangerous/difficult. Highmore had nine of the 16 shots.

Saint John went 1-for-5 on the power play while Rouyn-Noranda went 3-for-8. This a night after the Sea Dogs were able to keep the league’s best power play off the scoreboard.

NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs host the Rimouski Oceanic on Friday night at Harbour Station.
