Game Day 32: at Halifax

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs
HALIFAX - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to build off a strong finish last night.

The Sea Dogs trailed the Halifax Mooseheads 4-0 in the third period but managed to cut the deficit to 4-3. That would be as close as Saint John would get, but the team will look to carry that momentum into tonight's rematch at Scotiabank Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

Last night's loss extended Saint John's home losing streak to six games. The good news for the Sea Dogs is that they've been much better on the road so far this season, a trend they'll look to continue tonight.

This is the final game of the first half for both teams.
