It was a good opening day of the World Junior Hockey Championship for the Saint John Sea Dogs.
Thomas Chabot led all Canadian skaters with 24:11 of ice time in Canada's 5-3 victory over Russia at Air Canada Centre on Monday. The Sea Dogs defenceman also had an assist, two penalty minutes and three shots.
Chabot got his first point of the tournament on Dylan Strome's second period power play goal, which put Canada up 2-1 at the time.
