The Saint John Sea Dogs' are dominating the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in all major stat categories and the league itself.
Highly-touted prospect Tomas Jurco had a hat trick as Saint John rocked the Moncton Wildcats 11-2 on Friday night.
The Sea Dogs have scored 248 goals so far this season, 36 more the Lewiston Maineiacs, their nearest competition in the category.
Saint John's defence is also the best in the QMJHL, allowing only 128 goals, 11 less than the second-place Montreal Juniors.
Having the best offence and defence in the league has put the Sea Dogs firmly at the top of the league's standings and the Canadian Hockey League's weekly power rankings.
Saint John has earned points in 15-straight games with 14 wins and a 3-2 overtime loss to the Drummondville Voltigeurs on Jan. 15.
The Sea Dogs have not lost in regulation time in all of 2011.
Elsewhere in the QMJHL it was: Drummondville 5 P.E.I. 1; Montreal 1 Quebec 0; Baie-Comeau 3 Rouyn-Noranda 2; Shawinigan 4 Gatineau 3; Val-d'Or 1 Rimouski 0 and Victoriaville 3 Cape Breton 2 (SO).
