A Back and Forth Battle

Drummondville took early control of the game. Hugo Dufour scored the only goal of the first period by burying a rebound from Maxime Olivier Drolet. The Voltigeurs outshot the Sea Dogs twelve to eight in the opening frame.

The Sea Dogs found their rhythm late in the second period. Alex Donovan slipped the puck past goaltender Jan Larys on a slick power play feed from Jamie Glance to tie the game. Just twenty one seconds later, Lawrence Williams sniped a shot glove side to record his first QMJHL goal and give Saint John a two to one lead. Drummondville responded quickly when Drolet tied the game less than a minute later. The teams entered the second intermission locked at two goals apiece.

Third Period Tension and Shootout Heroics

Saint John reclaimed the lead in the third period. Jabez Seymour finished a three on two rush to score his first goal of the season. Glance and Cameron Chartrand provided the setup. Drummondville refused to quit and Dufour scored his second goal of the night late in the period to force overtime.

After a scoreless extra frame, the game went to a shootout. Jamie Glance stepped up and scored the lone goal of the skills competition. Goaltender Rafael Courchesne shut the door by stopping all three Drummondville shooters to seal the win for Saint John.
