FINAL: Rimouski 6, Saint John 1
SAINT JOHN - Penalties are proving to be a problem for the Saint John Sea Dogs.
After allowing four power play goals in Sunday's loss, the Sea Dogs allowed another five in a 6-1 loss to the Rimouski Oceanic on Halloween night at TD Station.
The Sea Dogs allowed the Victoriaville Tigres to go perfect 4/4 on the man advantage in their last game. Saint John was apparently unable to fix their penalty kill woes between then and Thursday, giving up five power play goals on nine chances to the high powered Oceanic.
Saint John's penalty kill, which sat third overall in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League just a few weeks ago, now sits last with a rating of 63.2%.
Former Sea Dog Cedric Pare led the way for Rimouski, scoring three goals and adding three assists. Isaac Belliveau, Dmitry Zavgorodniy and Adam Raska also scored. Backup goaltender Raphael Audet made 15 stops in the win.
Joona Lehmus scored for Saint John. Zachary Bouthillier made 50 stops in the loss.
While the Sea Dogs managed to hang around most of the game, the Oceanic dominated puck possession. Shots ended 56-16 in favour of the visitors with Saint John unable to generate much of anything offensively. Giving Rimouski nine power plays didn't help, either.

Recap: Sea Dogs lose 5-2
FINAL: Victoriaville 5, Saint John 2
SAINT JOHN - Just when it looked like the Saint John Sea Dogs were gaining momentum and starting to play consistently okay - Sunday happened.
The Sea Dogs fell 5-2 to the lowly Victoriaville Tigres at TD Station. After back-to-back solid games - including a 4-1 win over the Halifax Mooseheads the night before - this was a disappointing performance.
The Tigres entered the game with just three wins this season and had lost four straight. This was also the third game of a three-game Maritime road trip. Despite that, the visitors rolled into Saint John and scored the game's first five goals en route to the win.
Saint John has, as we all know, struggled with consistency this season. But a worrying trend (one of them, anyways) has been the Dogs' struggle to beat teams they should be beating. As previously mentioned, Saint John plays in a very tough division this season, and picking up points against lower seeds in other divisions could be vital in determining where the club finishes in the standings this year.
On Sunday, Saint John's penalty kill proved to be a problem with the Tigres scoring on all four of the power plays they were handed. The non-power play goal came while shorthanded. Maxime Pellerin, Vincent Sévigny, Jérôme Gravel, Zackary Riel and Mikhail Abramov scored for the Tigres. Tristan Côté-Cazenave made 43 saves in the win.
Nicolas Guay and Brady Burns scored for Saint John. Zachary Bouthillier made 29 stops in the loss.
Things won't get any easier for the Sea Dogs with the Rimouski Oceanic coming to town on Halloween night. Saint John will play six straight road games following that match.
NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs host the Rimouski Oceanic on Thursday at 7 p.m.
