And just like that, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are over for Saint John Sea Dogs alumni.
Coyle and Joseph were both eliminated in stunning Game 7s over the weekend. Coyle and the Colorado Avalanche blew a 2-0 third period lead in a 4-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Saturday. Joseph, meanwhile, scored and had three shots in the St. Louis Blues' 4-3 double overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
All four former Sea Dogs who qualified for this year's NHL playoffs – Thomas Chabot (Ottawa), Matthew Highmore (Ottawa), Charlie Coyle (Colorado) and Mathieu Joseph (St. Louis) – were eliminated in the first round.

Even after winning two Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning, this was the first NHL playoff goal for Joseph.
Here's a look at how all four performed statistically in these playoffs.
| Player | Team | GP | Goals | Assists | Points |
| Thomas Chabot | OTT | 6 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
| Mathieu Joseph | STL | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Charlie Coyle | COL | 7 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Matthew Highmore | OTT | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Thomas Chabot made his NHL playoff debut and registered four points in the Ottawa Senators' six-game series loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Matthew Highmore did not play again for the Sens after appearing in the series opener.
Some other Monday news and notes...
- Still no schedule – or even pieces of one – for the QMJHL final between the Moncton Wildcats and either the Rimouski Oceanic or Shawinigan Cataractes. It's getting weird at this point. It's believed the series will start on Saturday, but the fact that the league hasn't confirmed that makes you wonder. Moncton will have home ice advantage no matter who they play.
- Game 7 between the Oceanic and Cataractes will take place Tuesday night at 8 p.m. Atlantic in Rimouski.
- In the ECHL playoffs on Monday, Matt Murphy had one shot in the Fort Wayne Komets' 2-1 win over the Toledo Walleye. The Komets lead the series 2-1.
