Game Day 14: at Drummondville

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs
DRUMMONDVILLE, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to close out their three-game Quebec road trip with a win today.

The Sea Dogs visit the Drummondville Voltigeurs today in what will be the club's third game in three days. It's been a challenging road trip so far for Saint John, who fell 7-3 in Gatineau on Friday and trailed until the third period in a 3-1 win in Boisbriand yesterday.

Yesterday's victory ended a three-game losing streak for Saint John.

This will be the second and final meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Voltigeurs. Saint John edged Drummondville 4-3 in a shootout on Thanksgiving Monday. That game ended a stretch of nine straight road games to open the season for the Volts.

Today's game will be just the fourth on home ice for Drummondville. They are 2-1-0-0 so far.

Game time is 5 p.m. Atlantic.
