Pre-game notes:

• Newly acquired goaltender Marco Cousineau (pictured above) is expected to get the start in goal for the Rocket. He’ll face his former Drummondville teammate Mike Hoffman.
• Rocket forward Chris Doyle returns to the lineup today after serving a four-game suspension.
• Samson Mahbod required five stitches after being hit in the mouth with a stick versus Moncton and might not play tonight because of a strained ligament in his left hand suffered in Sunday’s game against Acadie-Bathurst.
• Jordon Southorn didn’t practice Tuesday due to a possible flu and is questionable against Saint John.
• Former Sea Dogs assistant coach Jim Midgley and current Rothsay Netherwood head coach is doing colour comentary tonight on News 88.9. Midgley is also on Twitter.
• Scott Oke and Zach Phillips are healthy scratches.
