HALIFAX - DND Appreciation night started out really well; a nice ceremony honouring the Canadian Forces, a moment of silence and two quick goals. The last 45 minutes not so much though; lots of penalties, Saint John taking command in the second and unanswered goals. The ceremony before the game was very well done and it ended with the Stadacona Band playing 'Oh Canada'. Nikolaj Ehlers got the good guys on the board early tipping in a powerplay shot. A Danny Moynihan elbowing penalty led to the away team closing the gap to 2-1 and they wouldn't look back. Physicality and hatred was again a theme in this series especially against former Dogs forward Kelly Bent. Some of that hatred led to Bent getting a game misconduct and a fighting major after he fought against Mitchell Dempsey while Sam Leblanc and Mark Tremaine also fought each other.
