Courchesne flashes draft-year potential with his second consecutive shutout. The Sea Dogs dominate, showcasing a balanced attack beyond their stars.

Saturday saw four QMJHL matches, including a shutout, a blow-out, a comeback win and an OT thriller.

Coming off of a shutout, most teams tend to see their play relax the following game as the confidence turns to ego.

Not the Saint John Sea Dogs, who after taking taking down Victoriaville 6-0 just a few days ago, have left the Quebec Remparts in the dust with a 4-0 shutout victory.

2026 NHL draft eligible Raphael Courchesne was manning the pipes for both affairs, stopping 20 of 20 tonight.

While goals from Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Everett Baldwin and recent QMJHL first overall pick Alexis Joseph weren't quite surprising, the team also benefitted from tallies by veteran depth piece Jacob Beaulieu and rookie blueliner Vincent Croteau, who picked up his first career goal.
