Three Things to Know
1. Chicoutimi's Brendan Hamelin suffered a concussion on Wednesday. He left the game on a stretcher (awake and alert) after getting hit hard by Jakub Zboril at the blue line.
2. Mathieu Joseph and Matthew Highmore have points in all 12 Sea Dogs playoff games so far.Brandon Hamelin des #Sags a subi une commotion cérébrale hier soir. Il a tenté d'éviter un contact avec Zboril. #tvasports— Mikaël Lalancette (@MLalancetteTVA) April 27, 2017
3. I discussed yesterday why this is, perhaps, a must-win game for Saint John. The Sagueneens have five loses this post-season but have yet to lose back-to-back games, meaning a Dogs win in Game 6 could be difficult if Saint John loses tonight.

Nicolas Roy and Joey Ratelle have a team high eight goals... Callum Booth has posted a 1.81 GAA and .935 SV% so far in this series... Saint John is 5-1 at home... Chicoutimi is 5-3 on the road... the Sagueneens are 6-0 when scoring first this post-season... Julien Gauthier has goals in three straight home games.
