The Huskies defeated the Sea Dogs in a wild 6-5 shootout decision last Saturday at Glencore Arena. The major storyline was Saint John's inability to maintain leads in the third period that ultimately led the game into extra time and a shootout loss for the Dogs.
Saint John, coming off a 1-1-0-1 road trip through Quebec, will look to get some revenge on Rouyn-Noranda tonight. It's the final meeting of the regular season between the two.
The Huskies will also visit Halifax and Cape Breton on this trip.
