| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
The Sea Dogs fell behind 2-0 in the first period and could never fully dig themselves out of the hole, falling 6-3 to the Cape Breton Eagles at Centre 200.
Saint John trailed 2-1 after the first period thanks to a breakaway goal from Tyler Peddle at 16:57 of the opening frame. But the Eagles scored two more times in the second to grab a 4-1 lead.
The Sea Dogs were able to make a game out of it thanks to goals from Zachary Morin and Olivier Groulx, cutting the deficit to 4-3. Roman Litalien's goal at 2:33 of the third then provided some insurance for Cape Breton.
Litalien and Joseph Henneberry each netted a pair of goals for Cape Breton while Brayden Schmitt and Tomas Lavoie added singles. Jakub Milota made 38 saves in the win.
Eric Young made 40 stops in the loss.
The Sea Dogs have now dropped seven straight road games heading into their rematch with the Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
