SAINT JOHN - It was a rough night for the Saint John Sea Dogs at TD Station.
The Sea Dogs struggled to generate offense all night long in a 6-1 loss to the Drummondville Voltigeurs. Saint John registered just 18 shots in the game with 11 being classified as dangerous.
Saint John's lone goal came in the second period when Mathis Gauthier put in a big rebound. That made it 3-1 at the time. It never really felt like Saint John was in the game despite the score staying somewhat close in the first half of the match.
While it wasn't a great showing by the Sea Dogs — you have to respect the team they were playing. The Volts have been rolling of late and looked quite good at both ends of the ice. The team has now won five straight and sits first in the Western Conference.
Vsevolod Komarov, Luke Woodworth, Maveric Lamoureux, Mikael Diotte, Justin Cote and Renaud Poulin all scored for Drummondville. Backup netminder Louis-Felix Charrois made 17 saves in the win.
Patrick Leaver made 33 stops in the loss.

Vsevolod Komarov, acquired just a couple days ago from the Quebec Remparts, scored and added two assists in his Drummondville debut... the Volts went 2/4 on the power play... Renaud Poulin's goal was his first in the QMJHL... the attendance of 1,865 was the smallest home crowd of the season.
