Palais des Sports Léopold-Drolet – Sherbrooke, Que.
SHERBROOKE, Que. – The Saint John Sea Dogs continue their
trip through Quebec tonight with an 8pm game against the Sherbrooke Phoenix.
The Phoenix sit just above the Sea Dogs in the standings.
They are 16th overall in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with
a 9-12-1-1 record for 20 points.
Sherbrooke is in their second year in the league and,
much like Saint John, are in the second year of a build/rebuild. They do have a
decent core group together now with the likes of Daniel Audette, Carl Neill,
and the fourth overall pick in the 2013 Q draft - Jeremy Roy.
The Sea Dogs sit 17th overall and are six
points back of Sherbrooke/the final playoff spot with a record of 6-15-0-2.
Saint John has lost four straight contests and seven
straight on the road. Maybe tonight will be the night those streaks come to an
end.
