Beaulieu got the Sea Dogs on the board at 7:19 of the first period. With the Sea Dogs already on a power play and an extra attacker out for a delayed penalty, Beaulieu fired a snapshot from the top of the left-wing circle to beat Missiaen. Jurco and Kirkpatrick had the assists on the goal, Beaulieu's 11th of the season.

Saint John outshot Baie-Comeau 12-3 in the first period, but the Drakkar charged back in the second, logging the first 10 shots of the frame. They were rewarded with Durette's first goal at 9:11, on a shot from the right wing. Durette then gave the Drakkar a 2-1 lead on Baie-Comeau's fifth power play of the game, banging in a rebound at 13:44 of the second.

The Sea Dogs picked up the pace late in the second, with Jurco hitting the post on a snapshot from the hash marks with about two minutes to go, but the 2-1 score held until Gauthier got a shot through traffic at 6:05 of the third. Ryan Tesink picked up an assist on the goal, Gauthier's ninth, and Mike Thomas was also buzzing around the net.

Jurco put the Sea Dogs ahead for good with an electrifying goal at 10:01. The slick Slovakian came flying through the slot, dancing between the defenders and finishing a perfect pass Kirkpatrick sent from behind the net. Huberdeau had the other assist.

Kirkpatrick extended the lead to 4-2 at 12:12, taking Huberdeau's pass from behind the net and burying it for his 20th of the year. Jurco picked up the other assist, then added his second of the night at 15:27, also his 20th. Eric Gelinas and Kevin Gagne assisted on the play.
