The Sea Dogs have had an impressive trip so far, defeating the Quebec Remparts 5-4 on Thursday and Shawinigan Cataractes 4-2 last night. The team has now won three straight games and have improved their record to 7-5-0-2, good for eighth overall in the QMJHL.
This will be Saint John's second game is less than 24 hours and the third game of a three-in-three is typically the hardest. But with CBC in town broadcasting the game nationally, the Dogs have extra motivation to find an extra bit of energy.
