FINAL: Moncton 6, Saint John 0
Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs
SAINT JOHN - They hung around, but the Saint John Sea Dogs were no match for the league-leading Moncton Wildcats on Friday night at TD Station.

The Sea Dogs once again struggled to create scoring chances and went 0/4 on the power play in a 6-0 loss to the Wildcats. Shots on goal ended 44-19 in favour of Moncton with Saint John recording 14 dangerous shot.

Saint John has now dropped five straight games for a second time this season.

Mathis Rousseau stopped all 19 shots he faced to earn his first shutout of the season.

The Wildcats had goals from six different skaters: Juraj Pekarcik, Vincent Collard, Alex Mercier, Caleb Desnoyers, Julius Sumpf and Dyllan Gill. Sumpf added two assists.

The Sea Dogs were able to keep the score close for much of the game, trailing 2-0 after one and 3-0 after two. But despite the score, it was a one sided match with the Wildcats carrying the play almost all night – as one would expect. 

Sea Dogs goaltender Eric Young, making his first QMJHL start, made 38 stops in the loss.
