The Tampa Bay Lightning prospect is committed to Providence College for next season.

A few other stats related notes...

• Alexander Donovan now leads Saint John in goals with 23, surpassing Alexis Joseph's 22. The team record for goals in a season by a rookie is 26, which is held by Tomas Jurco and Ostap Safin. Donovan has five goals in his past six games.
• Angelo Fullerton has put together a really solid overage season. He now has 21 goals, 17 assists and 38 points – all career highs. His previous high for goals in a season was nine. His previous high for points in a season was 16.
• Fullerton is a 20-year-old so he won't be back next season. Baldwin and Donovan are both committed to play NCAA hockey next season. There are some sizeable holes the Sea Dogs will need to fill during the off-season.
• Olivier Groulx has points in seven straight games to give him 60 points on the season, placing him 22nd in QMJHL scoring.
• Let's talk about shots on goal.
• The 22 shots on goal Saint John had in the first period on Friday in Halifax are tied for the second most shots in a first period by any team this season. This season's first period high is 25, which is owned by the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
• Saint John's franchise record for shots in a single period is 28, which was done in both the 2008-09 and 2010-11 seasons.
• Those 22 shots are tied for the seventh most in a single period on the road in team history. Saint John had 22 shots in single periods in 2009-10, 2010-11 and, oddly enough, in a game earlier this season.
• Saint John followed up Friday's game by allowing 25 shots in the second period of Saturday's game against Charlottetown. No team has had more than 26 shots in a single period this season, a high that is owned by the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
• The 47 shots Rafaël Courchesne faced on Saturday was nearly a season high for him. He faced 49 shots in Saint John's 6-5 overtime win in Chicoutimi in December.
• The Sea Dogs now have 21 wins, tying their total from last season.
