SJ notes: The Sea Dogs must win tonight’s game and hope
Shawinigan loses in regulation time to keep their playoff hopes alive…
defenseman David Weckworth was hurt in Wednesday’s game and did not play in the
final two periods… defenseman Jurij Repe and forward Marcus Cuomo are expected
to return from suspension tonight… losers of five straight and are 2-7-1-0 in
