Stuff from last night’s game…
- The Sea Dogs have now lost six straight games at Harbour
Station.
- What a game for Nikolaj Ehlers. The rookie import had a goal
and four assists last night, giving him possession of the Mooseheads team point
lead. He passed Jonathan Drouin who has obviously played fewer games.
- Marcus Cuomo scored his second goal of the season on a
power play in the first period. It was his first goal since September 22nd.
- Mooseheads winger Samuel Leblanc took a puck to the
head in the first period. He was down on the ice for a short time but
would head to the dressing room on his own.
- Austyn Hardie drilled Joey Richard into the end boards at
4:48 of the second period. Hardie and Kelly Bent then dropped the gloves.
Hardie was given a five-minute major and game misconduct for fighting while
Bent picked up the instigator stuff. Meanwhile, Richard had to be helped off
the ice and appeared to be favouring his arm/upper body. He did not return.
- The Richard injury came just moments after Samuel
Dove-McFalls left the game with an injury.
- Noah Zilbert scored at 11:25 of the second and then Nicolas
Hebert scored at 11:32 to make it 3-1 Saint John. The goals, which came seven
seconds apart, are the fastest back-to-back goals in team history.
- Zilbert’s goal was assisted by call-up defenseman Bailey
Webster who now has three assists in two games.
- Hebert’s goal was his third of the season and first as a
Sea Dog. Mathieu Joseph assisted on the goal, giving him his first QMJHL point.
- Saint John led 3-1 in the second period but Halifax
scored four unanswered goals – including three in the third period – to win
5-3.
- The Sea Dogs are at least staying in games of late. Each
of their past six games have been decided by two goals or less.
- Nice to see some different players step up offensively last
night. The Dogs scored three goals but Olivier LeBlanc, Matthew Highmore,
Oliver Cooper, and Stephen Anderson were held pointless.
- Sea Dogs scratches were forwards Nathan Noel (Under-17s),
Mackenzie Brown (healthy), Lukas Walter (healthy), and Connor Donaghey (healthy) along with defensemen
Will Thompson (Under-17s), Michael Abbott (hand), and Alexander McQuaid
(healthy).
NOTES: Sea Dogs wore their white jerseys… in a pre-game

50/50 winner… Nikolaj Ehlers had a Mooseheads high six shots… MacKenzie Weegar
had two hits… Joey Richard and Noah Zilbert each had three shots… Bailey
