Game Day 20: at Bathurst

BATHURST - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to get back on track tonight against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.

Wednesday night's 6-2 home loss to the Moncton Wildcats didn't have too many positives. The team was sloppy defensively in all zones and the offense, which had been so good since the restart, wasn't quite clicking.

The Sea Dogs are 2-0 against the Titan in this "second half" with their latest win coming on Sunday at TD Station - a 6-3 victory.

Game time tonight at the KC Irving Regional Centre is 7 p.m.
