SYDNEY, NS – The Saint John Sea Dogs
will be without one of their top forwards tonight in what is, up to this point,
the biggest game of the season.
Nathan Noel has been suspended for
tonight’s game against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles for what the league calls a dangerous check from behind. The suspension came after a league
revision.
This is presumably where the suspension came from.

Noel was given a two-minute penalty on the play, which happened early in the first period. The Sea Dogs went on to win the
game in overtime, with Noel setting up Joe Veleno’s extra time goal.
Saint John and Cape Breton have had an
odd season series with both teams receiving suspensions after league reviews. Noel’s
suspension continues the trend.
Noel has one goal and seven assists so
far this post-season but only has one assist in this series so far.
Game three of the best-of-seven series, which is tied 1-1, takes place tonight at 7 p.m. at Centre 200. The Sea Dogs will now be without two of their top four leading scorers from the regular season.
