The Victoriaville Tigres did what seemed to be impossible Saturday night.

Pierre-Luc Pelletier's goal 29 seconds into the middle period was the winner as Victoriaville ended the Saint John Sea Dogs' lengthy win streak with a 2-1 victory in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

The loss, Saint John's first in regulation time in 2011, ended a 22-game points streak. In that span, the Sea Dogs won 21 games and lost to the Drummondville Voltigeurs 3-2 in overtime Jan. 15th.

For their part, the Tigres have won three straight and six of their last 10.

Saint John is currently first overall in the QMJHL and has clinched the Maritimes Division title. Victoriaville has a guaranteed playoff berth and is third in the East Division.

Elsewhere in the QMJHL it was: Chicoutimi 4 Baie-Comeau 1; Gatineau 2 Shawinigan 1; Cape Breton 3 Halifax 0; Quebec 5 Rimouski 2 and Acadie-Bathurst 8 Val-d'Or 3.

At Victoriaville, Que., Philippe Maillet opened scoring for the Tigres (33-24-4).

Mike Thomas's second-period goal wasn't enough to keep the streak alive for the Sea Dogs (50-6-3).
