The Canadian Press’ recap. Frank Schumacher's

games.
SaintJohnSeaDogs.com’s recap. The Saint John Sea Dogs and
the Shawinigan Cataractes met for the second time this season in Saturday’s
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action as the Cataractes took the contest 3-2
in overtime.
SCRATCHES: The Sea Dogs were without Matthew Highmore
(lower body), Michael Abbott (lower body), Brett Malone (personal reasons), and
Steven Duda (healthy) on Saturday.
DONAGHEY: Forward Connor Donaghey returned to the Sea
Dogs lineup on Saturday. He hadn’t played since January 12 due to a shoulder
injury. He had one shot and was a -1 in the loss.
DELISLE-HOUDE: Alexandre Delisle-Houde scored his first
QMJHL goal in the first period. It was a beauty as he showed some patience in
front of the net and deked out Sebastien Auger. He was playing in just his
third game with Shawinigan.
GLASS: A Mackenzie Brown hit 4:41 into the second period
broke a piece of glass along the side boards. Both teams headed to the dressing
room as arena workers made repairs. There was a 20-30 minute delay,
causing this game to take nearly three hours to complete.
A piece of glass broke during warm-up of a Sea
Dogs/Cataractes game last season at Centre Bionest and there was a significant
delay to start that game. It would have made for some exciting TV if some glass
broke at the Memorial Cup last year.

ZILBERT: Noah Zilbert had a two-point game, netting the
game tying goal in the third period and also helped set up Smallman’s goal. The
rookie forward now has six goals and five assists in 49 games this season.
POWER PLAY: Saint John’s power play had another good
night, going 2-for-3. They went 3-for-9 in Friday’s 6-3 loss in Gatineau.
OVERTIME: This was the first overtime loss of the season
for the Sea Dogs. They are now 5-1 in overtime games and 3-0 in shootout
contests.
VS SHAWI: Saint John is just not having a good season
against the team that eliminated them from the Memorial Cup last May. The Sea
Dogs fell to 0-1-1-0 against the Cataractes this season while Shawinigan
improved to 2-0-0-0 against Saint John. The two teams meet again on February 14
at Harbour Station.
STREAK: This was Saint John’s sixth straight loss (0-5-1-0).
They are 1-8-1-0 in their past 10 games.
STANDINGS: The Sea Dogs at least got a point out of this
game. They fell to 19-30-1-0 with yesterday’s loss and remain fifth in the
Telus Maritimes Division and 15th overall in the league. They are
five points ahead of the Sherbrooke Phoenix who sit 16th.
NOTES: Ross Yates ran the Sea Dogs bench again. Mike
Kelly was away scouting… the camera work in Shawinigan continues to be all over
the place. Not sure what’s going on there… Jason Cameron had five shots… David
Weckworth had six hits… Frank Schumacher, the overtime hero, had seven shots…
good to see some Sea Dogs players not named Izacky or Villemaire pick up some
point over the past couple games… yet another 40+ save performance by Sebastien
Auger.
