The Saint John Sea Dogs fell 3-2 to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Sunday afternoon at TD Station, ending their winning streak at four games. The Sea Dogs are now 4-3-0-0 on the season.
For a second straight game, the Sea Dogs healthy scratched a few veteran players. The team was without leading scoring Nate Tivey along with impactful offensive forwards Tyler Peddle and Eriks Mateiko – and their absences were felt with Saint John generating just 10 dangerous scoring chances in the game.
Olivier Duhamel and Darien Reynolds scored for Saint John. Charles-Edward Gravel made 22 saves and was named first star in the loss.
Saint John struggled to get much going in the opening frame, trailing 1-0 and getting outshot 12-5. The team rebounded early in the second with Duhamel scoring at 4:28 and then Reynolds converting at 11:28 to put Saint John in front, 2-1.
The Titan tied the game at 11:43 when Liam Arsenault was left all alone at the side of the net. Then, with 4.3 seconds left in the period, Dawson Sharkey ripped a shot over the shoulder of Gravel to put Bathurst in front, 3-2.
David-Alexandre Coulombe scored Bathurst's other goal. Mathis Langevin made 26 stops in the win.
