Recap: Sea Dogs lose 6-1

FINAL: Quebec 6, Saint John 1

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SAINT JOHN - Special teams were not in the Saint John Sea Dogs' favour on Sunday at TD Station.

The Quebec Remparts went 3/7 on the man advantage in a 6-1 victory over the Sea Dogs. Saint John, meanwhile, went 0/6 on the power play — a power play that has been struggling all season.

This was certainly one of Saint John's most disappointing results of the season, falling 6-1 to a rebuilding club that was playing the final game of a three-in-three road trip. The Remparts had more jump despite the Sea Dogs not playing since Friday in Moncton.

The Sea Dogs had a decent start to the game but things went sideways once penalties started being called. Quebec scored on a five-on-three advantage at 17:31 and on a five-on-four at 18:11 to lead 2-0 after one.

Kassim Gaudet netted a hat trick for Quebec while Charles Svaoie, Charles-Olivier Villeneuve and Antoine Michaud added singles. Vsevolod Komarov recorded four assists. Quentin Miller made 22 stops in the win.

Noah Reinhart scored Saint John's lone goal. Justin Robinson made 23 saves in the loss.
