| Saint John Sea Dogs |
Playing in front of a ton of NHL scouts, the Sea Dogs posted a solid 6-2 win over the Quebec Remparts. Saint John now sits second in the Eastern Conference and is just one point back of the Remparts for first.
This game had plenty of eyes on it with four of the league's top draft eligible players – Alexis Joseph and Jamie Glance of Saint John along with Carter Meyer and James Scantlebury of Quebec – all facing off. Joseph, with two goals, and Glance, with an assist, got the better of the Remparts on Thursday.
Olivier Groulx, Julien Lanthier, Alexander Donovan and Torkel Jennersjo also scored for Saint John. Samuel Meloche made 22 saves in the win.
Nathan Quinn and Alexander Taillefer scored for Quebec. Patrick Deniger, who played the night before in Moncton, was pulled in the third period after allowing six goals on 27 shots. Timothy Dubuc stopped all four shots he faced in relief.
The Remparts led 2-1 after one but the Sea Dogs were able to grab a 3-2 advantage in the second period thanks to a pair of goals just over three minutes apart.
Saint John blew it open quickly in the third. Goals at 2:38, 3:02 and a penalty shot goal at 4:33 gave the Dogs a commanding 6-2 advantage. The Remparts pressed a bit late in the game but there wasn't enough time to mount any kind of comeback.
This ended a three-game winning streak for Quebec. Saint John, meanwhile, has now won three straight.
