SAINT JOHN – The Sherbrooke Phoenix have had the Saint
John Sea Dogs’ number this month.
After beating the Sea Dogs 3-0 a couple weeks ago, the
Phoenix came into Harbour Station on Saturday night and left with a 3-2 victory
in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.
Carl Neill, Alexis Bernier, and Denis Kamaev all scored
for Sherbrooke. Goaltender Jacob Gervais-Chouinard made 32 stops for the win.
Saint John had goals from Jakub Izacky and Maxime
Villemaire. Sebastien Auger made 18 saves in the loss.
Bizarre game. The Sea Dogs didn’t show up for the first
period and were out shot 13-4 and found themselves down 2-0. In the second,
Saint John out shot Sherbrooke 12-4 but really didn’t have many legit scoring
chances.
In the third, Kamaev beat Auger top corner at 4:09 to
make it 3-0 Phoenix. Welp. But then, the Sea Dogs started to turn it on. Izacky
scored a great goal at 9:27. Then Villemaire made it a one-goal game at 14:38.
Saint John had some pressure on in the final minutes but could not net the
equalizer.
Shots were 18-4 in favour of the Sea Dogs in the third
and 34-21 overall.
The Sea Dogs’ power play was lifeless and went 0-for-4.
The Phoenix went 1-for-5.
This loss was Saint John’s third straight. They fall to
19-28-0-0.
NOTES: See Sea Dogs Postscript tomorrow on SN.
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs are in Victoriaville Wednesday
