Julien Gauthier became the latest former Saint John Sea Dog to score an NHL goal on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old forward scored the game's opening goal in a 3-2 New York Rangers overtime loss to the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden.


Gauthier was appearing in his seventh game of the season for the Rangers and had yet to record a point. In 24 career NHL games split between the Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes, Gauthier has a goal and three assists.

Gauthier was playing against his former Sea Dogs teammate: Bruins defenseman Jakub Zboril. The two played together with Saint John during the second half of the 2016-17 season. Charlie Coyle was also in the Boston lineup.

That 2016-17 Sea Dogs team is looking pretty good these days. Members of that team to play in the NHL this season include Gauthier, Zboril, Thomas Chabot, Mathieu Joseph and Matthew Highmore.

Gauthier certainly knows how to score, netting 104 regular season markers in his four-year QMJHL career.
