victory over the Saint John Sea Dogs in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
action at Harbour Station Sunday afternoon.
SCRATCHES: The Sea Dogs were without forwards Juraj Siska
(not here/injured), Joey Richard (healthy), and Kelly Bent (healthy) along with
defensemen Jurij Repe (wrist) and Thomas Chabot (death in family).
RECORD: The Islanders improved to 4-0-0-0 with yesterday’s
win. The Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, also 4-0, are the only other undefeated team
remaining in the QMJHL. Meanwhile, Saint John fell to 2-1-0-1 but did pick up a
solid three of a possible four points this weekend.
FIGHT: Lukas Walter and Jack Nevins dropped the gloves at
2:06 of the first. Walter landed a bomb to start things off. Video via
HockeyFights.com.
CUOMO: Marcus Cuomo opened the scoring in the first
period, finishing off a nice passing play with Oliver Cooper and Stephen
Anderson. It was Cuomo’s first goal – and point – of the season.
DOVE-MCFALLS: 16-year old rookie forward Samuel
Dove-McFalls picked up his first career QMJHL point with an assist on Nathan
Noel’s third period goal.
SPRONG: Plenty of young talent played in yesterday’s
game. One of those players was Charlottetown’s Daniel Sprong who scored the
first of his career in the first period. Sprong was the 13th overall
pick in the 2013 QMJHL Entry Draft.
AUGER: After missing last weekend's action due to a lower body
injury, Sebastien Auger showed no signs of hurt in this weekend’s performances.
Yesterday, he made 38 saves in 65 minutes of play and then made six stops in
the shootout. He has allowed three goals on 85 shots this season. Also worth
noting is the fact that Auger faced nine shootout shooters in all of last
season.
FIRST GOAL: The Islanders have yet to score first in any
of their games this season. Weird.
THIRD PERIODS: The Sea Dogs seem to save their best for
last. Seven of Saint John’s 10 goals scored this season have come in third
periods. They have also allowed five in thirds, the most of any period.
BBQ: The Sea Dogs season ticket holder barbecue that was
scheduled to take place after the game was cancelled. It was the second time
the event has been cancelled due to rain. The BBQ is clearly cursed.
NOTES: Announced attendance was 2,536. That’s a small
crowd… 50/50 winner took home $2,306… Nathan Yetman left the game in the second
period in some obvious pain after blocking two shots. He would return though… Charlottetown
goaltender Eric Brassard made his first start of the season and made 34 saves
in the win… lots of hitting in this game. The Isles out hit the Dogs 28-17…
Alexis Pepin had six hits… Alex McQuaid had four hits… Michael Abbott had seven
shots while Nathan Noel had five… the Sea Dogs next home game is on Saturday
night against Sherbrooke.
NEXT GAME: These two teams meet again this Friday night
in Charlottetown.
