Louis Robitaille’s team strafed the visitors’ cage with 51 shots. This offensive effort resulted in three goals in the first period and four in the second and third periods.
Forward Samuel Savoie led the way with two goals and three assists. Zachary Dean (two goals, two assists) and Marcel Marcel (one goal, three assists) and Olivier Boutin (two goals) also shone brightly.
Antoine Michaud, Colin Ratt, Alexis Gendron and Cole Cormier also took part in the demolition work.
Montreal Canadiens prospect Riley Kidney curiously collected only one assist during this offensive festival. His teammates will surely not blame him: he has amassed 24 points in 10 duels since being acquired from the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
Alex Drover saved the Sea Dogs’ honor by flashing the red light twice. Vincent Elie also deceived the vigilance of Emerik Despatie, who signed the easiest victory of his career by fending off 21 pucks.
