Moncton Wildcats News Release
Wildcats looking for another home win SaturdayMarch 28, 2026The New Brunswick archrivals go at it again Saturday night in Game 2 of their 1st Round battle. The Wildcats took Friday's first game 5-1 on the strength of a Gavin Cornforth hattrick.
After almost 17 scoreless minutes the Sea Dogs managed a powerplay goal and entered the 1st intermission with the lead. We're not sure what Head Coach Gardiner MacDougall said during the break, but a different team emerged in period 2, led by Gavin Cornforth. In the span of 90 seconds, Cornforth tied the game and then put the Cats up - a lead they would not give up. The Cats outshot the Dogs 37-10 over the final 40 minutes and showed why they are the defending champs.
Teddy Mutryn was another force to be reckoned with on Friday. His 3 points were scored in a 5-minute span & were part of that early 2nd period charge that seemed to deflate Saint John.
It will be interesting to see if Moncton can keep the momentum going right off the bat in Game 2, or if we restart with some tight-checking, playoff-style hockey.
The Sea Dogs look forward to the return of big Belarussian goalie Arseni Radkov. Radkov sat out Game 1 to finish his 5-game suspension for a fight earlier this month.
