PRE-GAME NOTES: Sea Dogs vs Olympiques

GAME DAY
What:
Presidents Cup Playoffs: Round Two – Game Three
Who: Saint John Sea Dogs vs Gatineau Olympiques
When: 8:30 pm AST
Where: Robert Guertin Arena, Gatineau, Quebec

ANTHONY COULD RETURN TONIGHT
From today’s Telegraph-Journal:

Sea Dogs forward Steven Anthony practised with the club Monday afternoon in Gatineau and is expected to suit up for tonight's tilt. The 18-year-old Vancouver Canucks prospect has been out with a groin injury since March 20 and has appeared in just one playoff game, Saint John's 8-3 win over Prince Edward Island in the first-round opener on March 19.

In two games against Gatineau in the regular season, Anthony had no points.

Kevin Gagne will not play because of a knee injury.

- Correction: As stated above, Anthony has played in one playoff game this year. The incorrect info has been placed in the Station Nation Pre-Game for about seven years now.

SCOUTS IN THE HOUSE
We asked on Twitter how many scouts from the Ottawa Senators you thought would be at the game tonight to watch Mike Hoffman. We got this response from rick1042:

@station_nation Last time St-John was in Gatineau, Brian Murray, Tim Murray and Pierre Dorion were present.
