The Quebec Remparts, who currently own the QMJHL's 16th and final playoff spot, lost 5-0 to the Baie-Comeau Drakkar yesterday. A win by the Sea Dogs this afternoon would push them into a tie with the Remparts with 46 points. Saint John currently holds the tiebreaker, which would push them into 16th.
Following today's action, both the Sea Dogs and Remparts will have three regular season games remaining.
Saint John will face the Charlottetown Islanders today at 3 p.m. at TD Station. The two met last night at Eastlink Centre in a game that the Isles controlled for the most part — but there were some glimpses from Saint John. We'll see what they can do in this one.
