Second period scoring wouldn’t stop there as Liam Arsenault scored near the midway mark of the middle frame to bring it to 3-1 before Alexis Joseph cut it to 3-2 three minutes before the second intermission.
Blake Pilgrim-Edwards would have the final say in the 2nd as he found the back of the net with 1:27 left in the 2nd to make it 4-2 after 40 minutes.
Dawson Sharkey extended the Regiment lead to three nine minutes into the third before Olivier Groulx replied twice for the Sea Dogs. Newfoundland would hold on for a 5-4 win with Louis-Antoine Denault making 29 saves to improve his record with the Regiment to 4-1-0-0.
