Colisee Desjardins – Victoriaville, Que.
VICTORIAVILLE, Que. – A three-in-three Quebec road trip
begins tonight for the Saint John Sea Dogs.
The Sea Dogs are in Victoriaville tonight to battle the
Tigres at 8pm. Saint John travels to Sherbrooke to take on the Phoenix tomorrow
and are in Gatineau Saturday to face the Olympiques.
The Sea Dogs have been struggling of late. They have lost
three straight games and six straight on the road. They are coming off a 7-5
loss in Halifax where they scored four goals in the third period to make a game
of it. Hopefully the Dogs can take some of that momentum into tonight’s game.
Saint John sits 17th overall in the Quebec
Major Junior Hockey League with a record of 6-14-0-2. They are five points back
of the Tigres who currently own the final playoff spot.
The Sea Dogs are led offensively by Oliver Cooper who has
seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points in 22 games. Cooper and Nathan Noel
each have seven goals to lead the team.
Victoriaville has been struggling just as much as the Sea
Dogs of late, losing four straight and winning just once in their last 10
games. They sit 16th overall with a 9-12-1-0 record.
Angelo Miceli leads the Tigres in scoring with 15 goals
and nine assists for 24 points in 22 games.
