Centre 200 – Sydney, NS
SYDNEY, NS – After a disappointing few weeks, the Saint
John Sea Dogs have a chance to close out the first half with back-to-back road
wins tonight in Cape Breton.
The Sea Dogs defeated the Screaming Eagles 3-2 last night
at Centre 200, ending their five-game losing streak and 11-game road losing
skid. Tonight, the Dogs face the same Eagles team at the same venue and at the
same time for a chance to make it two straight wins.
Tonight’s contest is the final game before the Christmas
break for both teams. It’s also the final game before the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League’s trading period begins.
Last night, Jurij Repe, Oliver Cooper, and Samuel
Dove-McFalls all scored for Saint John. Sebastien Auger made 29 saves in net
for the win. William Carrier and Kyle Farrell scored for Cape Breton while
Chase Marchand made 20 stops in the loss.
Cape Breton has struggled to produce offense over the
past couple games and they struggled to generate much of anything at times last
night. They’ll try to have a better performance tonight.
"We know that it's unacceptable to play like that in
our home rink and we need to come back with a really strong effort (Saturday)
night,” Stephen Woodworth told the Cape Breton Post.
