Louis Robaille’s team fired 51 shots at the visitors’ cage. This offensive performance resulted in three goals in the first period and four in the second and third periods.
Forward Samuel Savoie led with two goals and three assists. Zachary Dean (two goals, two assists) as well as Marcel Marcel (one goal, three assists) and Olivier Boutin (two goals) also shone.
Also involved in the demolition work were Antoine Michaud, Colin Ratt, Alexis Gendron and Cole Cormier.
Curiously, Montreal Canadiens prospect Riley Kidney racked up just one assist on this offensive feast. His teammates certainly won’t blame him: he’s amassed 24 points in 10 duels since being acquired by the Acadie-Bathurst titans.
Alex Drover saved the Sea Dogs’ honor by flashing the red light twice. Vincent Elie also fooled the vigilance of Emerik Despatie, who signed the easiest win of his career by repelling 21 pucks.
