The Oceanic currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference with an 11-6-0-1 record. The team the Sea Dogs face today will no doubt look a lot different than the team that will host the Memorial Cup later this season.
The Sea Dogs will look to salvage a point or two on the final game of this three-in-three Quebec road trip. Saint John lost 3-2 in Victoriaville on Thursday and 2-1 to Quebec last night.
A Saint John loss today would put the team below the .500 mark. They enter play 10-10-0-0.
Game time at Colisée Financière Sun Life is 5 p.m. Atlantic.
