Game Day 15: vs Wildcats

Daniel St-Louis/Moncton Wildcats

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs will try and extend their winning streak to three this afternoon at TD Station.

After posting back-to-back road wins over the Cape Breton Eagles earlier this week, the Sea Dogs are back on home ice today to host the Moncton Wildcats. Game time is 3 p.m.

Saint John enters this game one-point ahead of the Wildcats in the standings – but the Sea Dogs have played two more games. Even so, Moncton is off to a just okay start – but this is a talented roster that could take off at any time.

This will be Saint John's final home game until Nov. 15. The team will head to Quebec later this week for three games.
