Ostap Safin scored Saint John's lone goal in a 2-1 loss to the Olympiques at the Robert Guertin Centre. The game kicked off a three-in-three Quebec road trip for the Dogs.
The Sea Dogs opened the scoring just 1:21 into the game. But the Olympiques quickly countered with Pier-Olivier Lacombe scoring at 6:05 and then Alexandre Landreville netted what proved to be the game-winner at 13:45.
Late in the third, the Sea Dogs came very close to tying the game and Joe Veleno even celebrated. But after review, the no-goal call stood. Veleno was clearly frustrated in the third, taking an unsportsmanlike conduct misconduct at 18:21.
Saint John's power play, which has been a difference maker in several games this season, went 0/4 on the night.
Tristan Berube made 23 stops in the win. Matt Williams made 27 saves in the loss.
