In round two against the Cape Breton
Screaming Eagles, the Sea Dogs, down 3-2 in the series, won games six and seven
to advance to the semifinals. They’ll have to win another elimination game
tomorrow night in Shawinigan if they want to stay alive. Game time is 8:30 p.m.
at Centre Gervais Auto.
The Sea Dogs enter tomorrow’s game five
down 3-1 in the series. Saint John won game one in overtime and then went on to
lose three straight. The frustrating part is that both games three and four
were winnable – Saint John imploded in the third period on Tuesday and then
fell in overtime on Wednesday.
This series has had some unpredictable and unusual moments. Leads haven't meant much and momentum shifts quickly. Even though the Cataractes carry momentum into Friday's match, anything can happen.
Saint John is 4-3 on the road this
post-season while Shawinigan is 5-3 at home.
Some other notes…
- The Sea Dogs will, presumably, have Bokondji Imama back in their lineup tomorrow night. His seven-game suspension ended on Wednesday.
- Will we see Alex Bishop in net again on Friday? Bishop made 20 saves in his first career playoff start on Wednesday.
- Anthony Beauvillier has four goals and seven points so far in this series.
- Sam Povorozniouk continues to lead the league in playoff scoring with 24 points and goals with 14. Thomas Chabot has a league high 18 assists. Nathan Noel has served a league leading 30 penalty minutes.
- If the Sea Dogs win on Friday, game six is on Sunday at 7 p.m. at Harbour Station.
