It's been a busy couple weeks for many teams with the league's holiday trade period in full swing. But it's been a quiet time for the Saint John Sea Dogs who have, somewhat surprisingly, yet to make a move of any kind.
The Sea Dogs return to action tonight with the same roster they had in their pre-Christmas finale on Dec. 17. Saint John's opponent this evening, the Charlottetown Islanders, have made a few moves, including the acquisition of former Sea Dogs forward Simon Hughes.
Game time tonight at TD Station is 7 p.m.
