| Mike Bernard/Charlottetown Islanders |
After posting a 6-2 win in Halifax on Saturday night, the Sea Dogs ventured to Charlottetown on Sunday and left with two points following a 5-1 win over the Islanders at Eastlink Centre.
The weekend wins improve Saint John's record to 11-5-1-1 and are now just a point back of first-place in the Eastern Conference.
Jamie Glance led the way on Sunday, recording two goals. Olivier Lemieux, Olivier Groulx and Matyas Cancik also scored. Samuel Meloche, who didn't play on Saturday, made 23 stops in the win.
The Sea Dogs led 1-0 after the first period but had a big middle frame, scoring three times and outshooting the Islanders 16-5.
Kimani Eccleston scored Charlottetown's lone goal. Donald Hickey made 23 stops in the loss.
This was just the second meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Islanders and first in Charlottetown, making this the first visit back to Eastlink Centre for former Isles coaches Jim Hulton and Guy Girouard.
