Jacob Gaucher opened the scoring for the visiting Royals 90 seconds into regulation before the Growlers quickly took control of the game.
With a Max Newton tally from Reading sandwiched between, Newfoundland got goals from Isaac Johnson (2), Todd Skirving, Keenan Suthers and Tommy Miller in the first 20 minutes of play – the latter two scoring their first goals as a pro.
Tyler Boland would add some insurance midway through the second period, finishing off a great 2-on-1 feed from Johnson to make it 6-2.
Dryden McKay made 29 saves in his second career pro start, turning away all 18 shots he faced after the opening frame to secure a 6-2 Growlers win.
Newfoundland head out on the road for a two-game set against the Trois-Riviéres Lions next weekend.
