Recap: Sea Dogs lose 6-2

FINAL: Saint John 2, Charlottetown 6

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE - Finally, it's over.

For the final time this season, the Saint John Sea Dogs took on the Charlottetown Islanders. And for a final time this season, the Islanders defeated the Sea Dogs 6-2.

In what has felt like one of the more lopsided season series in team history, the Islanders won their eighth game of the season over Saint John in nine tries. The Sea Dogs have recorded just six wins over the Islanders over the past three seasons combined (a total of 27 games).

Friday's contest was one of the closer meetings of the year until the third period. Saint John trailed just 2-1 entering the final frame - but the Isles scored four times and recorded 18 shots en route to a 6-2 win.

This was the third straight game that saw the Islanders defeat the Sea Dogs by a score of 6-2. Charlottetown's last four games have all been 6-2 victories.
