Three Things to Know
1. Saint John's penalty kill was busy but effective last night, keeping the Armada off the scoreboard on six chances.
2. The Armada have proven this post-season that they are able to rebound from loses and adversity. This could be a statement game for either team.
3. This series features two of the best goaltenders in the QMJHL, making the nine total goals (eight, technically) in the game a bit of a surprise. Surely goals won't be as easy to come by in other games in this series.
Notes: Mathieu Joseph leads Saint John in scoring with 25 points and goals with 12... Thomas Chabot leads the team in assists with 15... Alex Barre-Boulet leads the Armada and league in scoring with 30 points. He also leads the team in goals with 14 and assists with 16... Saint John is 7-0-1 at home... Blainville-Boisbriand is 5-4 on the road... Chabot leads all defencemen in scoring with 20 points... Spencer Smallman has points in six straight games.
