Imama and Joseph to play NHL pre-season game tonight

Two members of the Saint John Sea Dogs will be in the Tampa Bay Lightning's lineup tonight.

Forwards Mathieu Joseph and Bokondji Imama are both expected to play when the Lightning take on the Carolina Hurricanes in NHL pre-season play.

Very happy to play my first NHL pre-season game tomorrow with the one and only @MathJoseph7

Meanwhile, Thomas Chabot's Ottawa Senators are in Buffalo this evening. But, a night after scoring in Ottawa's 6-3 win over Toronto in Halifax, Chabot is not expected to play. Former Sea Dog Mike Hoffman will be in the lineup, though.

Imama, Joseph, Chabot, Jakub Zboril (Boston Bruins) and Luke Green (Winnipeg Jets) are the remaining Sea Dogs at NHL camps.

Green's Jets are in action tonight but the Sea Dogs defenseman is not listed in the team's lineup.
