The Western Capitals had a bad start, getting outshot 21-9 in the first period and trailed 3-0 halfway through the second period. Summerside turned things around in the second half and made a game of it, but it was too late to complete a comeback.
Robinson was named the game's third star. He did not start Game 1 on Saturday in Summerside, which the Western Capitals won 3-2.
Still wearing Sea Dogs gear (even though he is Moncton Wildcats property now), Robinson posted a 4-3-1 record with Summerside in the regular season along with a 2.93 goals against average and a .890 save percentage.
Former Sea Dogs defenseman Matthew MacLean was also in the Capitals lineup. On the Amherst side, former Sea Dogs Darien Reynolds and Jeremie Richard both dressed. Reynolds left the game in the second period after taking a bit hit along the boards.
