The Drummondville Voltigeurs won both games of this opening round playoff series over the weekend to take a 2-0 lead heading into tonight's Game 3 at TD Station. Game 4 will take place tomorrow night in Saint John.
The Sea Dogs were able to hang around in both games and give the Voltigeurs a bit more of a push than expected. Saint John struggled to keep pace with Drummondville in the third periods through, which is common for a young team like the Sea Dogs.
Game time for both both matches is 7 p.m. A reminder that tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for season ticket members, plus taxes and fees.
