The Saint John Sea Dogs ran their winning streak to three games with a big 6-3 win over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies Friday night.
Playing the first of three games in four nights, Saint John was led by Jamie Glance’s two goals.
Glance opened the scoring late in the first and made it 2-0 less than a minute into the second period.
Samuel Rheault got the Huskies on the board midway through the second, before Alexis Joseph buried a rebound with seconds left in the frame to restore the two-goal lead.
William Vézina brought Rouyn-Noranda back within one, but Matyáš Čančík but the Sea Dogs back up by two seconds later.
But the Huskies refused to go away quietly, and pulled within one again with less than three minutes to pay on a backhander from Eliot Ogonowski.
A pair of empty-netters courtesy of Ryan Howard and Zach Morin sealed the deal for the home team.
