The Saint John Sea Dogs and Rimouski Oceanic change venues after splitting the first two games of this first round, best-of-five series at TD Station. The winner of tonight's contest will have a chance to secure a spot in the second round Tuesday night.
The Sea Dogs had a much better showing in Friday's Game 2 after an ugly performance in the opener. The Oceanic scored a couple goals in the later half of the third period to make things interesting Friday, but the game was never really in doubt.
Saint John will look to get their offense running a bit better over these next two games. The team averaged 4.54 goals per game in the regular season but have only scored a total of five goals in this series so far.
Game time tonight is (unfortunately) 8:30 p.m. Atlantic.
