HALIFAX - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to put last season's road woes behind them this weekend.
The Sea Dogs will play their first road games of the season when they visit the Halifax Moosheads for a pair of games. Both Friday and Saturday night contests begin at 7 p.m.
Saint John had one of the worst road records in the QMJHL last season, finishing 9-23-0-0 away from home. Three of those nine road wins did come at Scotiabank Centre, though.
Both the Sea Dogs and Mooseheads enter play having split their opening weekend matches. The Sea Dogs faced the Cape Breton Eagles while the Mooseheads took on the Charlottetown Islanders.
This could be an interesting season series between the Sea Dogs and Mooseheads. Both teams are still near the bottom ends of their rebuilding cycles, but both have some impressive young talent that could progress as the season moves along.
