SCRATCHES: The Sea Dogs were without forward Olivers Murnieks (IIHF World Junior Championship) along with defensemen Cameron Chartrand (injury) and Patryk Zubek (healthy).
NOTES: Defenseman Patryk Zubek was the team's final scratch. Saint John went with 12 forwards and six defensemen... the game started 10 minutes late due to both teams wearing white jerseys during warmup. Saint John changed into blue – but players were in some unusual numbers. Both of these teams are still stuck in their old CCM jerseys... the Sea Dogs scored on their first shot on goal. Shots were 6-1 Halifax at the time... Saint John scored first for a second straight game... defenseman Max Vilen had two shots... Everett Baldwin now has three game-winning goals this season... Baldwin has now scored in three of his past four games... Baldwin also had a team high four shots... Saint John went 1/3 on the power play while Halifax went 0/3... attendance was 3,057.
HIGHLIGHTS
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs host the Gatineau Olympiques on Thursday night at 7 p.m. at Fredericton's Aitken Centre.
