Bennett MacArthur leads the Titan in scoring with seven points... Riley Kidney has a Bathurst high three goals... MacArthur leads the club in assists with five... the Titan have the third best power play in the league with a rating of 27.3%... the Titan's penalty kill has yet to allow a goal... the Sea Dogs are averaging a league high 4.67 goals against per game... Burns has goals in three straight games... probably a good chance Noah Patenaude makes his first start of the season tonight... the Titan are still without Hendrix Lapierre (Washington Capitals camp) while the Sea Dogs are without Ryan Francis (Stockton Heat camp).
