The biggest change will be in goal where Mathieu Corbeil will replace Jacob DeSerres. The move isn’t that surprising given that this game is meaningless for the Sea Dogs.
Corbeil has been good in all but one game in the post-season. He has a 4-0-0-0 record with a 1.54 goals against average and a 0.936 save percentage. His last start came in Game Four of the semifinals against Lewiston where he allowed two goals on two shots in just under three minutes of action.
DeSerres will not even be on the bench as recent call up Jacob Edwards will serve as backup.
Also out for Saint John will be their best defenseman – Simon Despres. The ‘Big Horse’ has been battling sickness and will get the evening off.
Up front, both Danick Gauthier and Michael Kirkpatrick will not play. Kirkpatrick has been nursing a few injuries throughout the playoffs while Gauthier ran into the Owen Sound Attack’s bench door last night and was in some pain. Steven Anthony and Jason Cameron will remain out as well.
Inserted into the lineup will be defensemen Jason Seed and Spencer MacDonald along with forward Devon-Oliver Dares.
Oliver-Dares and Seed both dressed during the playoffs while MacDonald hasn’t played with the Dogs since January.
