Defending champ Sea Dogs lower boom on Oil Kings
SHAWINIGAN, Que. -- Zach Phillips scored twice and the defending champion Saint John Sea Dogs defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings 5-2 on Monday night to create a four-way tie for the lead at the Mastercard Memorial Cup.
It is the first time all four teams have been tied with 1-1 records since the current format was adopted in 1983. It assures there will be a tiebreaker game on Thursday night to determine one semifinalist.
Jonathan Huberdeau, Danick Gauthier and Ryan Tesink also scored for the Sea Dogs, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League titleists who were upset by the Ontario Hockey league champion London Knights on Saturday.
Kristians Pelss and Stephane Legault replied for Western Hockey League winners Edmonton, which beat the host Shawinigan Cataractes in their first game.
