Game Day 19: vs Wildcats

SAINT JOHN - Can the Saint John Sea Dogs win four straight games?

The Sea Dogs carry a three-game winning streak into this evening's game at TD Station where they'll host the Moncton Wildcats. The two teams met on Saturday at Avenir Centre where Saint John collapsed in the third period but managed to come away with a 5-4 overtime victory.

Saint John is 3-0 since the restart but the games have been anything but easy. In their other two games, both against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, the Sea Dogs either overcame a 2-0 deficit or blew a 2-0 lead.

This Sea Dogs team is definitely not boring. We'll see what they have in store for everyone tonight.

Game time tonight is 7 p.m.
