ROUYN-NORANDA, Que. – A night after posting a 2-0 win in
Val-d’Or, the Saint John Sea Dogs came crashing back down to earth.
The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies scored three times in the
second and third periods to defeat the Sea Dogs 6-1 at Iamgold Arena on Friday.
The win snaps a five-game losing streak for the Huskies while the Sea Dogs
ended their final three-game Quebec road trip of the season with a 1-2 record.
Marcus Power had two goals for the Huskies while singles
came from Jeremy Lauzon, Francis Beauvillier, Julien Nantel, and Liam O’Brien.
Former Charlottetown Islander Jack Nevins had three assists. Alexandre Belanger
only had to make 15 saves for the win.
Matthew Highmore scored the game’s first goal in the
second period but that would be Saint John’s only marker in this one. Chase
Gaudet, called up this week to replace the injured Antoine Landry, made 41
saves in his Sea Dogs debut.
The Sea Dogs struggled to get much going offensively in
this game. They only recorded 16 shots in the game – three of them being
considered dangerous/difficult. Highmore had nine of the 16 shots.
Saint John went 1-for-5 on the power play while
Rouyn-Noranda went 3-for-8. This a night after the Sea Dogs were able to keep
the league’s best power play off the scoreboard.
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs host the Rimouski Oceanic on
Friday night at Harbour Station.
