| Daniel St Louis/Moncton Wildcats |
The Sea Dogs were up 2-0 entering the final minute of play against the Moncton Wildcats on Saturday at Avenir Centre. Moncton pulled off an improbable comeback, scoring twice in the final minute and then winning in overtime to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven first round playoff series.
The Wildcats will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead tonight at TD Station. Game 4 is Wednesday, also in Saint John.
It will be interesting to see how the Sea Dogs respond to Saturday's result. Saint John played a great road game against a superior opponent – and it still wasn't quite enough. We'll see if they're motivated by the close game or if it knocked the wind out of their sails.
You have to think the Wildcats will look for a better start tonight. The Sea Dogs have scored first in both games.
