Our recap. It was Country Night at Harbour Station on
Friday, and if Taylor Swift was a Sea Dogs fan, she could probably write some
stupid song about this game.
The Telegraph-Journal’s recap (paywall). Philippe Maillet
scored with 39.9 seconds left in the game to lift the Victoriaville Tigres to a
4-3 win over the Saint John Sea Dogs Friday night at Harbour Station. The
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League contest attracted 5,087 fans.
La Nouvelle Union’s recap. Maillet, man.

SaintJohnSeaDogs.com’s recap. The Saint John Sea Dogs
dropped a 4-3 decision to the Victoriaville Tigres in front of 5,087 fans at
Harbour Station in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action Friday night.
SCRATCHES: Michael Abbott (healthy), Brett Malone
(healthy), and Jeremy Doucet (healthy) were scratched from the Saint John
lineup on Friday night.
VILLEMAIRE: Maxime Villemaire had two goals on Friday
night. He now has nine goals and eight assists in 22 games with Saint John this
year. He also had three shots, three hits, went 3/4 in faceoffs, and was a -3
last night.
DUDA: Six penalty minutes for defenseman Steven Duda last
night. He got a cross checking, slashing, and a roughing call in this game. Not
good. He was a +1, though.
TSOGKAS: Andreas Tsogkas scored just his second goal of
the season on Friday, netting Saint John’s second goal in the first period. He
now has two goals and eight assists in 51 games.
MAILLET: Quite a game for Philippe Maillet who was named
first star. Maillet was in on all four Victoriaville goals, finishing the night
with a goal and three helpers. He also had the game-winner, scoring a heart
breaking goal with 40 second left in the game. It was an impressive goal, too,
as he made a couple moves to create some room before ripping a shot past
Sebastien Auger. Maillet was also a team best +4 and had a team high six shots.
SHORTHANDED: The Tigres scored a shorthanded goal at 5:45
of the second period, giving them a 3-2 lead at the time. It was the 11th shorthanded goal the Sea Dogs have allowed this season, the fifth most in the
league.
POWER PLAY: Saint John had a pretty good night on the
power play, going 2-for-5. The Sea Dogs also kept Victoriaville’s man
advantage, ranked fourth in the league entering the contest, to no goals on six
opportunities.
VS VICTO: This was the final game of the three-game
season series between Victoriaville and Saint John. The Tigres won all three
games but two of them were decided by one-goal and another by two.
STANDINGS: With seven games remaining in the regular
season, the Sea Dogs and Sherbrooke Phoenix are tied at 45 points each. The
Phoenix pulled off a big 5-2 win over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada last
night. They’ll likely both make the playoffs, but where they finish will
determine their first-round opponent and, probably more importantly, where they’ll
draft in June.
ATTENDANCE: A solid crowd of 5,087 watched this one at
Harbour Station. It was the third time this season a crowd of over 5,000
watched a Dogs at 99 Station St. With two home games remaining, Saint John is
averaging 3,891 fans per game.
NOTES: It was Country Night at Harbour Station… this was
the final Quebec based team Saint John will play in the regular season…Jonathan Diaby was a +3... William Cochrane and Tommy Veilleux each had four hits... Maxime Villemaire and Jurij Repe were each a -3.
