Game Day 58: vs Armada

Sebastien Gervais/Blainville-Boisbriand Armada

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs welcome some familiar faces to TD Station tonight.

Jacob Beaulieu, Elliot Dubé and the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada make their first and only appearance of the season in Saint John. Game time is 7 p.m.

This will be the final time the Sea Dogs face a Western Conference team this season. 

Saint John will look to rebound from a tough 5-4 home loss against the Charlottetown Islanders on Saturday, a loss that saw the Sea Dogs allow the game-winning goal in the final minute of the third period. The loss ended a two-game winning streak.

The Armada, who sit fourth overall in the QMJHL standings, are on a lengthy road trip that began Friday in Rimouski and continued Sunday in Charlottetown. They'll now play a three-in-three, visiting Saint John, Halifax and Moncton on consecutive nights.
