The Saint John Sea Dogs are headed to the QMJHL President’s Cup semi-finals for the third straight year following a 5-3 victory over Baie-Comeau.
With the win, the Sea Dogs sweep the series.
Jonathan Huberdeau scored the eventual game winner in the second period and added an empty netter.
Ryan Tesink also scored twice, while Charlie Coyle added a goal.
With Saint John down 1-0 in the first, Coyle tied it up on a rare shorthanded penalty shot, decking to the forehand on young Baie-Comeau netminder Philippe Cadorette, making the game 1-1 after one period.
Tesink scored twice in a six minute stretch in the second to give Saint John a 3-1 advantage.
Huberdeau snapped home a power play goal with under eight minutes left in the middle frame and Saint John led 4-2 after two.
The captain iced the Sea Dogs’ sweep with an empty net goal with five seconds to go.
The Sea Dogs will start the semi-finals on Friday, April 20 at Harbour Station, against an opponent still to be determined.
