RECAP: Sea Dogs win 4-3 (OT)

FINAL: Saint John 4, Bathurst 3 (OT)
BATHURST - Filip Prikryl was the hero again in a Saint John Sea Dogs extra time victory.

After scoring the shootout winner in Wednesday's game at Harbour Station, Prikryl netted the overtime winner on Friday night at the KC Irving Regional Centre, giving the Sea Dogs a 4-3 victory over the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.

Prikyl has been playing quite well after a quiet first half. Seemingly riding a wave of confidence, the rookie import has four goals and three assists in his past nine games.

Benjamin Gagne, William Poirier and James White also scored for Saint John. Zachary Bouthiller, who made his first Sea Dogs start after a solid relief appearance on Wednesday, made 18 stops in the win.

Jesse Sutton, Liam Leonard and Mathieu Desgagnes scored for the Titan. Mark Grametbauer made 28 stops in the loss.

The Sea Dogs website has a full recap.

Saint John is now 6-4 in their past 10 games and have moved to within one point of the league's final playoff spot.
