FINAL: Charlottetown 6, Saint John 3
Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs
SAINT JOHN - The Charlottetown Islanders ended a five-game losing streak on Wednesday at TD Station.

The Islanders scored three times in the third period to earn a 6-3 win. It was another close game between these two Maritimes Division rivals and, even though it resulted in a loss, was another good showing for this revamped Sea Dogs roster. The effort was definitely there.

William Shields scored a pair of goals for Charlottetown — including the game winner — while singles came from Giovanni Morneau, Anthony Flanagan, Simon Hughes and Alexis Michaud.

Carter Bickle made 37 saves in the win.

Tyler Peddle, Matteo Mann and Brody Fournier all scored for Saint John. Patrick Leaver allowed a few goals he'd no doubt like to have back, making 29 saves in the loss.

Drew Elliott's tripping penalty in the third period was Saint John's first and only penalty of the game. The Islanders scored on the ensuing power play... former Sea Dogs forward Simon Hughes extended his goal streak to four games... faceoffs ended 43-20 in favour of Charlottetown...
