RECAP: Courchesne shuts the door, Baldwin scores twice as Sea Dogs down Eagles
SYDNEY, N.S. – The Saint John Sea Dogs snapped a three-game skid Wednesday night with a shutout victory against the Eagles. Everett Baldwin, a Tampa Bay Lightning draft pick, led the way with two goals and Rafael Courchesne posted a 26-save shutout in a 4-0 win.
Baldwin struck five minutes in, burying his own rebound on a feed from Matthew Krayer for his first QMJHL goal. At 14:10, Julien Wasmer set up Zach Morin with a great pass for a shorthanded tally to make it 2-0. Saint John led 2-0 after one but trailed 10-7 in shots.
With six minutes remaining in the second, Baldwin fired a wrist shot from the point, beating Félix Hamel on a pass from Elliot Dubé for his second of the night. The second period concluded with the Dogs up 3-0 and ahead 20-17 in shots.
The Sea Dogs sealed it 4-0 when Krayer deflected a hard pass from Patryk Zubek glove side. Final shots favoured Saint John 29-26.
