Perhaps it was adjusting to a new team that caused Simon Bourque to record just three points in his first eight games with the Saint John Sea Dogs. It was an unusual dry spell for the consistently productive Bourque, who has 44 points in 45 games this season.
Although Bourque’s seven-game scoring tear ended on Saturday night, the thirteen points he recorded over its length mitigated the brief slump. Not only does Bourque have a new career-high in goals (13), he set career-highs in longest point streak (seven games), goal streak (three games), and assist streak (three games).
