SAINT JOHN – The Chicoutimi Sagueneens are in town today
for an afternoon contest against the Saint John Sea Dogs. Puck drop is
scheduled for 3pm at Harbour Station.
The Sea Dogs will be hoping to make it two straight wins
today after pulling off a 4-3 overtime victory over the PEI Rocket on Friday
night at the Station. Kevin Gagne scored at 2:44 of the extra frame to give
the Dogs the extra point.
Saint John currently sits fifth in the Telus Maritimes
Division and 14th overall in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
with a 7-7-0-0 record for 14 points. They are just 4-6-0-0 over their last 10
games but the team has been paying relatively well over the past few games.
Captain Jonathan Huberdeau is leading the way offensively
with 10 goals and nine assists in 14 games this season.
The Sagueneens certainly won’t be as rested as the Sea
Dogs. Chicoutimi played last night in Halifax and fell 6-2 to the mighty
Mooseheads who are on a big time roll. The Sags, who led 2-0 after one, could
only fire 17 shots on net in the loss.
Chicoutimi has been struggling of late and are on a
0-3-0-1 run and are just 4-5-0-1 over their last 10 games. The Sags sit 13th
in the league with a record of 6-8-1-1 for 14 points.
The Sags are led by Laurent Dauphin and Guillaume Asselin
who each have 17 points in 16 games this season. Charles Hudon has not played
since October 17 and is currently suffering from a concussion, according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie.
This is the third and final game of a three-game trip
through the Maritimes for the Sags. They played in PEI on Thursday and Halifax
last night.
For Saint John, this is the second match of a stretch of three
straight home games. They host the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada on Wednesday to
close it out.
