After winning back-to-back games over the Charlottetown Islanders to open pre-season play this week, the Sea Dogs head to Fredericton where they'll host the Cape Breton Eagles. Game time is 3 p.m. at the Aitken Centre.
This will be Saint John's final pre-season game of the "first half" of training camp, meaning today's contest will likely be the final chance for some players to make an impression.
Following cuts on Thursday, Saint John's camp roster consists of 16 forwards, 10 defensemen and five goaltenders.
