| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
The Sea Dogs defeated the Shawinigan Cataractes 3-2 in overtime last Saturday at TD Station in a significant upset. The win ended a five-game losing streak for Saint John.
Now, the two will meet again – but this time in Shawinigan. Game time tonight is 8 p.m. AT.
The Cataractes sit 23 points ahead of the Sea Dogs in the standings, so Saint John will once again be the underdog in this meeting. The two are, oddly, heading in opposite directions right now with Shawinigan having lost four straight while Saint John has won back-to-back games.
This contest kicks off a three-game Quebec road trip for Saint John. They'll also visit Sherbrooke and Gatineau before returning home.
