Saint John Sea Dogs News Release
CHICOUTIMI, QC - For the second straight night, the Saint John Sea Dogs picked up an overtime win as they defeated the CHL's fifth ranked team, the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, 6-5 Thursday night at Centre Georges-Vézina. Alexis Joseph led the way with a four-point night while goaltender Rafaël Courchesne made 44 saves.
Chicoutimi jumped ahead 2-0 in the first on a pair from Anaheim Ducks prospect Maxim Massé. The home team took that lead into the first intermission along with a 15-8 shot edge.

Two minutes later, Olivier Groulx gathered a rebound in the slot and fired it home to tie the game 2-2. The Saguenéens briefly retook the lead at 9:09, but Alex Donovan evened the score at three with 2.1 seconds left in the frame after Olivier Duhamel's initial shot was stopped.
Massé completed his hat trick 1:21 into the third to make it 4-3 Chicoutimi before Justin Gendron tied it again at 11:14. Joseph put Saint John ahead 5-4 with 1:40 left but Chicoutimi answered just 16 seconds later to force overtime.
