| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
For the first time since the 2023-24 season, the Sea Dogs will play in the Gilles-Courteau Trophy playoffs. The team's spot was secured on Saturday night.
The Sea Dogs currently sit 15th overall in the QMJHL standings with a 22-31-5-0 record for 49 points and can no longer be caught by either the 17th-place Rimouski Oceanic or the 18th-place Baie-Comeau Drakkar.
The Sea Dogs could still move up or down in the overall standings but are likely to finish eighth in the Eastern Conference, meaning they'll play whichever team finishes first – either the Chicoutimi Sagueneens or Moncton Wildcats.
No matter the opponent, the Sea Dogs will begin the playoffs on the road and will be major underdogs. That series is likely to begin the weekend of March 27-28.
Saint John has not won a playoff series since 2017. They've qualified for the playoffs four times since then but have not advanced past the opening round.
