| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
The Sea Dogs and Val-d'Or Foreurs both have 51 points with four regular season games remaining. The tie-break is total wins excluding shootout wins, which the Foreurs currently have an edge in (23-22).
Finishing 15th overall isn't out of the question for Saint John either. The Blainville-Boisbriand Armada have 52 points with four games remaining.
The Foreurs will face the Drummondville Voltigeurs and Sherbrooke Phoenix this weekend while the Armada will take on the Baie-Comeau Drakkar twice.
- Friday is St. Patrick's Day and the Sea Dogs have a number of promotions taking place.
- A couple of franchise records to keep an eye on this weekend: Brady Burns is two points away from tying the franchise points record (257 - Jonathan Huberdeau) while Nicolas Bilodeau is one point away from tying the team record for most points by a rookie defenseman (41 - Radim Salda).
- At the University Cup quarterfinals, Dawson Theede and the Saint Mary's Huskies had their season come to an end with a 4-1 loss to Julien Tessier and the UQTR Patriotes. Theede was a -2 with two shots and four minutes in penalties while Tessier went 8/15 on faceoffs.
- In the second quarterfinal, Gardiner MacDougall's UNB Reds edged the Concordia Stingers 2-1. Jonathan Lemieux was named Concordia's player of the game with 23 saves. Christopher Inniss also had a strong performance in the loss. Kale McCallum and Nick Blagden were both out of the UNB lineup.
- The Reds and Patriotes will now meet in the 1 p.m. semifinal on Saturday. The bronze and gold medal games will take place on Sunday.
- Friday's quarterfinals will feature the Alberta Golden Bears taking on the Windsor Lancers and the Calgary Dinos facing the UPEI Panthers.
