Saint John's 4-4-0-2 record isn't tremendous - but it's also far from horrible. The team has the opportunity to earn a couple of wins this weekend against opponents that sit above them in the Maritimes Division standings: Charlottetown and Halifax. Wins this weekend would be a major confidence boost heading into November and a tough Quebec road trip.
Game time tonight against the Islanders is 7 p.m. at TD Station.
