Alexis (Joseph) on fire

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

What a stretch it's been for Alexis Joseph.

Joseph has posted three goals and three assists in the first two games of the Saint John Sea Dogs' three-game road trip, helping guide the team to back-to-back come-from-behind overtime victories.

On Wednesday, Joseph scored twice – including the overtime winner – in Saint John's 4-3 win over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. He had four shots in that game.

On Thursday, Joseph had one of his most impressive performances to date, posting a goal and three assists in Saint John's 6-5 overtime win over the Chicoutimi Sagueneens. He set a career high for both assists and points in a single game. Joseph was also a +4 and had four shots.

The 16-year-old gave Saint John a 5-4 lead late in the third period with a beautiful drive to the net.

Jo with an absolute beauty.

He showed off his range of skill again in overtime, driving the play that led to Angelo Fullerton's game-winner.

And of course, the Angel-OT winner.

Despite being the first overall pick in June's QMJHL Entry Draft, Joseph has been flying a bit under the radar early this season – but he probably shouldn't be. He now has 12 goals and 14 assists in 23 games, placing him sixth in QMJHL rookie scoring.

Since returning from the Under-17 World Challenge, Jospeh has seven goals and nine assists in 11 games.

Now, it's early. Joseph has only appeared in 23 QMJHL games but we're certainly seeing signs that he could be one of the all-time great Sea Dogs. The potential is certainly there, especially considering there is already talk of him going first overall in the 2027 NHL Draft.

That potential is obviously great – but it also makes things a bit tricky for the Sea Dogs. He's the type of talent junior teams are built around but also the type of talent that may not be here long. That's especially true in today's world, where there's a chance Joseph could be in the NHL in 2027 or choose to play NCAA hockey.

In terms of records, Chris DiDomenico still holds the Sea Dogs franchise record for points in a season by a rookie with 75 in 2006-07. Tomas Jurco (2009-10) and Ostap Safin (2017-18) hold the rookie record for goals with 26.

Joseph and the Sea Dogs are back in action on Saturday when they visit the Quebec Remparts at 5 p.m. Atlantic.
