The Sea Dogs take on the Titan in Bathurst tonight at 7 p.m. The Sea Dogs are 0-14-0-1 on the road this season and did not win a road game in the second half of last season, meaning Saint John will go an entire calendar year without a road win of they lose tonight.
On the flip side, the Titan are 1-16-0-1 at home this season. The Sea Dogs certainly have a shot at winning this game.
