HALIFAX - The Saint John Sea Dogs return to action tonight at Scotiabank Centre.

This will be Saint John's first visit to Halifax this season and just their second meeting of the year with the Mooseheads. The two met on Oct. 4 at TD Station where the Sea Dogs earned a 4-3 overtime win.

The Sea Dogs haven't played since Sunday's 5-1 road loss to the Cape Breton Eagles. The Mooseheads, meanwhile, were on home ice last night where they defeated the Eagles 4-1.

Game time tonight is 7 p.m.

This is the first of back-to-back weekend road games for the Sea Dogs. They visit the Charlottetown Islanders tomorrow afternoon.

Sea Dogs have a road heavy November

Sunday's oddly scheduled game in Sydney kicked off a road heavy month for the Saint John Sea Dogs.

The Sea Dogs will play 11 games in November and just three of them will take place at TD Station. It's the exact opposite of October's schedule, which saw the Sea Dogs play seven of their 11 games on home ice.

The Sea Dogs fell 5-1 in Cape Breton last Sunday, a game that took place less than 24 hours after Saint John played at TD Station. The team will be on the road again this weekend, visiting Halifax on Saturday and Charlottetown on Sunday.

Saint John is 4-3-0-0 on the road this season.

Here's a look at Saint John's remaining November games.

Saturday, Nov. 7 at Halifax

Sunday, Nov. 8 at Charlottetown

Catching up on former Sea Dogs in NCAA

SAULT STE. MARIE, MI - Greetings from the other Sault Ste. Marie (pictured), where tonight the Lake Superior State Lakers will host the Maryville Saints in non-conference play.

The Lakers feature two former Saint John Sea Dogs – forward Charles Savoie and defenseman Matteo Mann, both of whom transfered to Lake Superior State in the off-season.

It's been an impressive start for Savoie, who currently sits in a tie for the CCHA lead in points with 11 and is leading the way in points per game (1.57). The 23-year-old played last season at Lindenwood where he posted nine goals and 18 assists in 23 games.

Mann, who spent last season at Colorado College, has been held scoreless in eight games so far with the Lakers.

Here's a breakdown of how all former Sea Dogs skaters are performing this year in the NCAA.

Player	Team	GP	Goals	Assists	Points
Charles Savoie	LSSU	7	3	8	11
Noah Reinhart	MTU	8	1	3	4
Cameron MacDonald	UNH	8	1	0	1
Olivers Murnieks	BC	2	0	1	1
Nate Tivey	QU	4	0	0	0
Everett Baldwin	PRO	5	0	0	0
Matteo Mann	MTU	8	0	0	0

Forward Olivers Murnieks and defenseman Everett Baldwin spent last season with the Sea Dogs. Murnieks has been dealing with an early season injury. Baldwin has played in five of Providence's six games.

Providence also includes Sea Dogs draft pick J.J. Monteiro, who has yet to appear in a game with the Friars due to a broken foot. The 20-year-old still has a year of junior eligibility remaining after playing in the USHL the past couple years.

The only former Sea Dogs goaltender playing NCAA hockey this year is Charles-Edward Gravel, who has posted a 3-3 record to go along with a 1.87 goals against average and a .944 saves percentage. Gravel spent last season at Mercyhurst University, who eliminated men's hockey.

Recap: Sea Dogs lose 5-1

FINAL: Saint John 1, Cape Breton 5

JaimeLee Gouthro/Cape Breton Eagles

SYDNEY, NS - A three-goal first period pushed the Cape Breton Eagles past the Saint John Sea Dogs on Sunday at Centre 200.

The Eagles opened the scoring just 1:39 into the first and added two more later in the period en route to defeating the Sea Dogs 5-1.

Jamie Glance made it a 3-1 game at 5:54 of the middle frame but just about any chance of a comeback ended when Elias Schneider scored at 16:22 to make it 4-1. Cole Chandler then scored less than a minute later to give the Eagles a commanding 5-1 advantage heading into the third.

The Sea Dogs outshot the Eagles 33-25 – including 15-5 in the final frame – but once again just couldn't come up with enough finish. Saint John was without top line forward Alexis Joseph for a second straight game.

Samuel Meloche, who also started Saturday's game in Saint John, made 20 stops in the loss. The big pre-game storyline was how the Sea Dogs would perform in this game after playing in Saint John the day before – obviously, things could have gone better.

The loss ended a three-game winning streak for Saint John. The Eagles, meanwhile, have now won five straight.

Along with Schneider and Chandler, (who had two goals), Noah Jettelson and Reece Peitzsche scored for Cape Breton. Lucas Beckman made 32 stops and was named the game's first star.

Cape Breton has now won three of the four meetings with Saint John this season.

Game Day 16: at Cape Breton

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SYDNEY, NS - The Saint John Sea Dogs will play the backend of a very odd back-to-back this afternoon at Centre 200.

The Sea Dogs played yesterday at TD Station, defeating the Moncton Wildcats 3-1 to extend their winning streak to three games. That game ended around 6:30 p.m. This afternoon at 3 p.m., they'll play in Sydney – which is not a short trek for this quick of a turnaround.

The Sea Dogs were expected to travel to Antigonish last night and complete the journey to Sydney today.

Adding to the logistical challenge is the fact that the Sea Dogs have to play the Eagles. Cape Breton has won four straight games, which began with a dominant 4-1 win in Saint John on Oct. 17.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 9-4-1-1 for 20 points (fourth Eastern/sixth QMJHL) while the Eagles are 6-3-1-3 for 16 points (fifth Eastern/ninth QMJHL).

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 3-1 home win over the Moncton Wildcats yesterday. Jabez Seymour, Jayden Connors and Jamie Glance all scored for Saint John. Samuel Meloche made 23 saves in the win. The Eagles are coming off a 4-1 win in Moncton on Friday. Eliot Litalien scored a pair of goals for the Eagles while Alonso Gosselin and Maxim Schafer added singles. Lucas Beckman made 21 stops in the win.

Recap: Sea Dogs win 3-1

FINAL: Moncton 1, Saint John 3

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs won a third straight game on Saturday at TD Station.

Jabez Seymour, Jayden Connors and Jamie Glance all scored to help the Sea Dogs defeat the Moncton Wildcats 3-1. Samuel Meloche carried a shutout late into the third period and made 23 saves in the win.

This was Saint John's first regulation time win over the Wildcats at TD Station since March 25, 2022.

Connors, who was making his QMJHL debut, collected his own rebound off the backboards and beat Moncton goaltender Jacoby Weiner with a backhand shot at 2:01 of the third period to give Saint John a 2-0 advantage.

The Wildcats made it a one-goal game with 1:17 remaining and with Weiner on the bench. But that would be as close as Moncton would get as Glance iced the game with an empty goal from centre ice.

Weiner made 28 stops in the loss. Myles Brosnan scored Moncton's lone goal.

The Wildcats have now lost four straight games as their scoring woes continue.
