RECAP: Joseph leads five-goal effort as Sea Dogs roll past Tigres
SAINT JOHN, N.B. – Alexis Joseph led the way for the Saint John Sea Dogs on Monday with a goal and two assists in a 5-2 win over the Victoriaville Tigres. It was also another strong performance from Rafaël Courchesne, who stopped 32 of 34 shots for the second game in a row.
At 13:06 of the first, Zach Morin worked the puck through to Jabez Seymour, who scored his fourth goal of the weekend. Saint John outshot Victoriaville 18-8 in the opening frame.
Egor Shilov tied the game at 1:39 of the second, cashing in on Simon-Pier Brunet’s breakaway rebound after Brunet exited the penalty box. Everett Baldwin restored the lead at 4:57, sliding Joseph’s feed between the pads of Gabriel D’Aigle. At 9:51, William Yared redirected Julien Wasmer’s point shot to make it 3-1. Enzo Lottin answered for the Tigres at 12:09, but Joseph broke in alone shorthanded and restored the two-goal cushion with under four minutes to go in the period.
Alex Donovan sealed it with an empty-netter with 38 seconds remaining to finalize the 5-2 win.
