3-in-3 Road Trip Begins Thursday

A challenging Quebec road trip is on deck for the Saint John Sea Dogs over the next few days.

The Sea Dogs begin a three-in-three road trek on Thursday night in Shawinigan against the Cataractes. On Friday the team is in Drummondville and on Saturday they visit Blainville-Boisbriand.

Shawinigan, like Saint John, is fighting for playoff positioning in the middle of the standings. The Cataractes currently sit eighth overall with a 26-18-1-2 record. Meanwhile, the Volts are 13^th with a 23-23-0-3 record and the Armada sit atop the league standings with a 29-12-2-4 record.

Some other Sea Dogs news and notes:

• Nathan Noel appears in the latest edition of The Hockey News’ Hot List. “Scouts were looking for more from Noel in the first half this season, but the CHL Top Prospects Game seems to have been a turning point,” writes Ryan Kennedy.
• Hockey’s Future has an article on Thomas Chabot and the rise of the Sea Dogs.
• According to the Sea Dogs, the Sea Dogs’ defense has the potential to be quite good down the road.
• The Cape Breton Post has an article on former Sea Dogs forward Stephen Anderson and his hot play of late. Also, Olivier LeBlanc is listed as day-to-day.
