The Sea Dogs opened the scoring before allowing four straight Mooseheads goals in a 4-2 loss at St. Stephen's Garcelon Civic Center. Saint John controlled much of the play for the first period but the Mooseheads seemed to gain momentum after each goal they scored.
Saint John's penalty kill struggled again, allowing two goals on five chances. On Thursday in Dartmouth, the Dogs gave up three power play goals in a 4-3 loss to the Moose. This obviously isn't ideal but it's certainly not time to worry - Saint John didn't dress their full defence core in either game.
Nicholas Guay and Jeremie Poirier scored for Saint John while Josh Lawrence picked up two assists. Zachary Bouthillier played the full game, allowing four goals on 30 shots.
Senna Peeters, Seva Losev, Samuel Dube and Said Abi-Faycal scored for Halifax. Tyler Casely made 17 saves in the first half of the game. Jonathan Pickrem made 14 stops in the second half.
The Sea Dogs website has a full game recap.
This was Saint John's final pre-season game for two weeks. There will likely be several cuts made soon.

NOTES: Carson Gallant was used as a forward once again... Josh Lawrence scored all three of Saint John's goals in St. Stephen last year. He assisted on both in this game... Saint John won just 18 of 49 faceoffs... Senna Peeters had a goal and an assist after recording two goals and an assist on Thursday... there was a good crowd for this game. No number was announced.
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs host the Charlottetown Islanders on Friday, Sept. 6 in Grand Falls.
