| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
This is Saint John's first trek into Quebec this season. They'll face the Gatineau Olympiques tonight before travelling to take on the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Drummondville Voltigeurs.
Game time tonight at Slush Puppie Centre is 8 p.m. Atlantic.
The Sea Dogs are looking to rebound from a rough weekend on home ice that saw them lose to the Cape Breton Eagles and Val-d'Or Foreurs. Saturday's loss to Cape Breton ended a five-game winning streak for the Sea Dogs.
Gatineau and Saint John have very similar records so this could be an entertaining game.
