Recap: Sea Dogs win 7-5

FINAL: Saint John 7, Drummondville 5

Ghyslain Bergeron/Drummondville Voltigeurs

DRUMMONDVILLE, QC - It wasn't simple, but the Saint John Sea Dogs ended their three-game road trip with a win on Sunday.

Alexander Donovan's natural hat trick lifted the Sea Dogs to a wild 7-5 victory over the Drummondville Voltigeurs at the Marcel Dionne Centre. Saint John trailed much of the game before scoring four unanswered goals to skate away with the victory.

This was Saint John's third game in three days. They fell 7-3 in Gatineau before rebounding with a 3-1 victory in Boisbriand on Saturday – a win that was also thanks to some third period goals.

Alexis Joseph, Jesse Dunlap, Thomas Charbonneau and Jamie Glance also scored for Saint John. It was a game of odd goals with a number of Saint John's markers going off skates or sticks of Voltigeurs players.

Samuel Meloche made 26 saves in the win.

It wasn't the prettiest of wins, but it got the job done – which is often the case when playing the final game of a three-in-three. Saint John's offense, which has struggled of late, also found a spark just in time.

William Dumont scored twice for Drummondville while Jayden Rousseau, Loic Brunet and Jacob Boucher added singles. Mathys Fortin was pulled after allowing two goals on seven shots in the first period. Jan Larys allowed four goals on 23 shots in relief.

DRUMMONDVILLE, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to close out their three-game Quebec road trip with a win today.

The Sea Dogs visit the Drummondville Voltigeurs today in what will be the club's third game in three days. It's been a challenging road trip so far for Saint John, who fell 7-3 in Gatineau on Friday and trailed until the third period in a 3-1 win in Boisbriand yesterday.

Yesterday's victory ended a three-game losing streak for Saint John.

This will be the second and final meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Voltigeurs. Saint John edged Drummondville 4-3 in a shootout on Thanksgiving Monday. That game ended a stretch of nine straight road games to open the season for the Volts.

Today's game will be just the fourth on home ice for Drummondville. They are 2-1-0-0 so far.

Game time is 5 p.m. Atlantic.

FINAL: Saint John 3, Blainville-Boisbriand 1

Raphael Lavoie/Blainville-Boisbriand Armada

BOISBRIAND, QC - A week before Halloween, Olivier Lemieux returned to his old home and haunted his former team.

Lemieux scored at 16:48 of the third, a goal that proved to be the game-winner in a 3-1 Saint John Sea Dogs victory over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada at Centre d'Excellence Sports Rousseau on Saturday.

Lemieux, who the Sea Dogs acquired from the Armada in the off-season, put in the rebound of a Bo Damphousse (another former Armada) shot to give the Sea Dogs their first lead of the game. Brandon Delarosbil had tied things at 1-1 earlier in the third period while Alexis Joseph secured the victory with an empty net goal later on.

It was another tough night for Saint John's offense, which has been struggling over the past few games to not just score, but create quality chances. Shots were 37-21 in favour of the Sea Dogs in this game. 14 of Saint John's shots were considered dangerous.

Rafaël Courchesne made 20 saves in the win.

Jacob McKinnon scored the Armada's lone goal. Nicolas Gillham-Cirka made 34 stops in the loss.

The win ended a three-game losing streak for Saint John. They finish this three-in-three road trip tomorrow in Drummondville.

FINAL: Saint John 3, Gatineau 7

 Dominic Charette/Gatineau Olympiques

GATINEAU, QC - It was another rough night for the Saint John Sea Dogs.

The Gatineau Olympiques scored two goals in the first 6:20 and never looked back, posting a 7-3 victory over the Sea Dogs on Friday night at Slush Puppie Centre.

The Sea Dogs have now lost three straight games and haven't looked great in any of those losses. They'll look to regroup tomorrow against the rebuilding Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, who have one of the worst records in the league.

The first period on Friday was similar to Sunday's against the Val-d'Or Foreurs. The Armada grabbed an early lead and the Sea Dogs spent the period – and the entire game, really – trying to chip away at the lead. 

Saint John never got back into the game. The team trailed 3-1 after one and then allowed the first two goals in the middle frame.

The Sea Dogs' offense has struggled during this losing streak and had another rough go on Friday. Zachary Morin's goal in the second period – which came thanks to a blunder by Gatineau goaltender Danai Shaiikov – was the first goal by a Sea Dogs forward in six periods of play.

Along with Morin, Thomas Charbonneau and Jamie Glance had goals for Saint John. Samuel Meloche made 35 saves in the loss.

Artem Glukhikh had two goals for Gatineau while singles came from Dylan Allie, Peter Legostaev, Louis-Étienne Halley and Simon-Xavier Cyr. Shaiikov made 23 saves in the win.

GATINEAU, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs begin a three-in-three Quebec road trip tonight in Gatineau.

This is Saint John's first trek into Quebec this season. They'll face the Gatineau Olympiques tonight before travelling to take on the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Drummondville Voltigeurs.

Game time tonight at Slush Puppie Centre is 8 p.m. Atlantic.

The Sea Dogs are looking to rebound from a rough weekend on home ice that saw them lose to the Cape Breton Eagles and Val-d'Or Foreurs. Saturday's loss to Cape Breton ended a five-game winning streak for the Sea Dogs.

Gatineau and Saint John have very similar records so this could be an entertaining game.
