Game Day 20: vs Voltigeurs

Ghyslain Bergeron/Drummondville Voltigeurs
SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs will try and win a third straight game this afternoon at TD Station.

The Sea Dogs have not only won their past two games, they haven't allowed a goal. The team defeated the Victoriaville Tigres 6-0 last Sunday and the Quebec Remparts last night.

Saint John will look to keep the positive vibes going when they host the Drummondville Voltigeurs this afternoon at 3 p.m. The two met last Friday in Drummondville where the Volts skated away with a 4-1 win.

This is the third and final game of a three-game Maritime road trip for the Voltigeurs – and it's been a tough one. They lost 5-0 in Moncton on Friday and blew a 2-1 second period lead in a 4-3 loss in Charlottetown last night.
