The Sea Dogs face the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies at 7 p.m. at TD Station. The Huskies loaded up during the off-season and are considered to be one of the favourites to win the QMJHL championship this season.
Rouyn-Noranda sits first in the Western Conference with a 13-6-1-3 record and are coming off a wild 6-5 loss in Moncton last night, a game that saw them rebound after a rough first period.
The Sea Dogs are coming off a strong Quebec road trip that saw them come home with back-to-back wins. We'll see what kind of momentum they can carry into tonight's contest.
