Noah Patenaude played about as well as you possibly can in a 10-0 loss to a powerhouse Canadian team on Tuesday at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton.
The Saint John Sea Dogs goaltender made 42 saves - which included a few big stops when the game was still somewhat close - in Switzerland's third loss of the tournament. It was Patenaude's first (and perhaps only) start of the tournament with the team using 19-year-old Thibault Fatton as their No. 1 netminder.
The only other former/current Sea Dog playing in the tournament is Filip Prikryl who has no points and is a -1 in three games with the Czech Republic. The 19-year-old spent the 2018-19 season with the Sea Dogs where he recorded 14 goals and 17 assists in 67 games. He's been playing the Czech Republic the past two seasons.
