Eriks Mateiko (SJ - 2G) knots it at 1 early in 2nd on great individual effort down the wall. Adds 2nd goal on a re-direct in the high slot.

Charles-Edward Gravel (SJ) - Spectacular compete level in this game. Poised and confident. Tracking pucks well and great second effort on rebound. Stopped 35 of 37

Caleb Desnoyers (Moncton) - Projected first round pick in the upcoming NHL draft as the top prospect coming out of the QMJHL. Alternate Captain for CHL/USA Prospects Challenge. Elite hockey IQ who uses misdirection on an extremely advanced level. His vision and ability to move pucks thru seams is beyond advanced. High poise with puck as he allows plays to develop.

Nate Tivey (SJ)- Solid puck moving D who leads the Seawolves backend. Does a good job down low along the wall to win battles and make the best outlet pass available. Neutralizes opponents with his length and skating ability.

Preston Lounsbury (Moncton - 1G, 1A) - skilled energy forward who is around the puck all night. Quick to hunt the puck in the forecheck or provide support off the rush. Moves effortlessly around the ice. Was dangerous all night offensively.
