Ex-Sea Dogs on the Oceanic: Forward Cedric Pare and defenseman Radim Salda.
Oceanic to watch: Alexis Lafreniere for obvious reasons.
Random stat: Radim Salda did end up on the Czech Republic's world junior roster. The Tampa Bay Lightning prospect was held pointless in three games. He was not in the Oceanic's lineup last night in Halifax.
