Stuff from last night’s game…
- Second straight game that Saint John only had 16 shots on goal. Just eight of those shots were considered dangerous. At least the Sea Dogs were able to keep this game close compared to Saturday’s 6-1 loss.
- Saint John had a four-minute power play in the second period and couldn’t get anything going. Dogs struggled to get any sustained pressure on in the offensive zone in this game.
- Olivier LeBlanc’s wrist shot from the point in the first period got Saint John on the board. It was LeBlanc’s first goal since January 17th.
- Jason Cameron gave the Sea Dogs some life in the third period with a goal at 17:32. It was his third of the season and first since December 7th.
- Thomas Chabot got an assist on Cameron’s goal to stretch his assist streak to five games. He has seven assists in his past seven games.
- Michael Joly had two goals and Alexis Loiseau had three assists. Philippe Desrosiers only had to make 14 saves in the win.
- With Shawinigan picking up a point last night, they continue to sit 16th overall in the standings. Saint John is two points back with two games in-hand.
- In a pre-game ceremony, Sebastien Auger was named the Sea Dogs’ Irving Player of the Month while Spencer Smallman was named the Canadian Tire Student of the Month.
- Christopher Smith made his debut as Sea Dogs backup.
- The Sea Dogs were without forwards Joey Richard (shoulder), Stephen Anderson (upper body), and Lukas Walter (healthy) along with defensemen Michael Abbott (hand) and Jeremy Doucet (healthy). Goaltender Antoine Landry also remains out with a lower body injury.
