MONCTON - The Saint John Sea Dogs were on the wrong side of a lopsided score for a second straight game on Saturday.
The Moncton Wildcats pulled away from the Sea Dogs in the second period en route to 7-2 victory at Avenir Centre. The game followed a similar script to Thursday's 10-3 Sea Dogs loss, which saw the Cape Breton Eagles pull away after a close opening frame.
Pavel Simek opened the scoring at 6:46 of the second period only to have the Wildcats score twice to take a 2-1 lead. Mathis Gauthier scored in the final minute of the frame to tie things up at 2-2. But Moncton would retake the lead in the second and never look back, scoring twice in the middle frame and adding three more in the third.
Olivier Boutin, Yoan Loshing, Oscar Plandowski, Thomas Auger, Preston Lounsbury, Shawn Carrier and Connor Trenholm all scored for Moncton. Rookie Caleb Desnoyers and affiliate Ryan Hackett each had three assists. Keegan Warren made 22 saves in the win.
Patrick Leaver played the entire game in net for Saint John, allowing seven goals on 37 shots in the loss.
