The two teams met last night in Cornwall where the Sea Dogs erased a very early 2-0 deficit and went on to win 7-4. Players who are battling for those final few forward positions - Carter McCluskey, Vince Elie and Nico Laforge - continued to shine offensively.
The Islanders just got training camp rolling this week so they are a bit behind where the Sea Dogs' camp is at. Saint John had much more experience in their lineup last night compared to Charlottetown.

Notes: Vince Elie and Nico Laforge are now tied for the league lead in pre-season scoring with six points each... Elie also leads in goals with five. He has scored in each of Saint John's pre-season games so far... Laforge has a Saint John high four assists... there were a few scrums but last night's game wasn't overly nasty. Jack O'Blenis and Max Chisholm tried to fight in the third period but the officials quickly broke it up... this is the second of four pre-season "home" games for the Sea Dogs at the Aitken Centre.
