The victory improved the Titan to 4-2 in the New Brunswick round-robin playoff tournament. The Sea Dogs and Wildcats both sit a 2-3 heading into Sunday's finale at Avenir Centre - but not matter who wins, neither can catch the Titan in the standings.
Bathurst advances to play the Charlottetown Islanders in Maritime final. The winner advances to the league semifinals which will be played at Quebec City's Videotron Centre.
The setup for the Maritime final has not been announced by the league and, although QMJHL commissioner Gilles Courteau is confident he'll have the approvals, it won't be an easy task given travel restrictions. Rogers TV commentators said Saturday that the entire series will be played at Eastlink Centre but that has not been confirmed.
The Sea Dogs and Wildcats will play their final game of the season on Sunday night at 7 p.m. in Moncton.
