Twenty-nineteen has come to a close for the Halifax Mooseheads and it didn't end very well as the Saint John Sea Dogs won 6-4. The Mooseheads New Year's Eve game started good but then Halifax went to sleep in the second period and a third period comeback was too late. Rookie Jeffrey Burridge scored his 5th goal of the season at the 6:45 mark of the first period before recently acquired D'Artagnan Joly extended that lead to 2-0 with 26 seconds remaining in the frame. Saint John was still on the power play to begin the middle frame and it didn't take long for Jeffrey Durocher to pick up his 11th of the season, cutting the home team's lead to one 13 seconds in. The 20-year-old scored again twelve seconds later to tie the game up and the Sea Dogs didn't look back after that. After 40 minutes, the away team was up 4-2 and that would be the end of what we would see of Alex Gravel as backup Cole McLaren was in nets for the final frame of the decade. Senna Peeters and Zack Jones scored in the final 10 minutes to make it an interesting game but a turnover by Cam Whynot with the net empty late in the period took away the Mooseheads last hope of tying it as Durocher finished his hat trick.
