News & Notes: Volts Keep Losing

The Drummondville Voltigeurs continue to lose.

After falling 4-2 to the Rimouski Oceanic last night, the Volts have now lost four straight and nine of their last 10. They currently sit outside the playoff picture with a 24-34-1-3 record, six points back of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens who currently hold the final playoff position.

With six games to play, here is who Drummondville will be facing:

March 8 at Blainville-Boisbriand (2^nd overall, .702 W%)

March 11 vs Val-d’Or (6^th overall, .581 W%)

March 13 at Gatineau (15^th overall, .468 W%)

March 15 vs Blainville-Boisbriand (2^nd overall, .702 W%)

March 20 vs Gatineau (15^th overall, .468 W%)

March 21 at Victoriaville (14^th overall, .476 W%)

Why does any of this matter? The Sea Dogs currently possess Drummondville’s first overall pick, and if the Volts miss the playoffs, they’ll face the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in the coin toss to determine who picks first overall.
