in town this afternoon to take on the Saint John Sea Dogs. Game time is 3pm at
Harbour Station.
The Sea Dogs and Wildcats met just this past Wednesday

Division and sixth overall in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The ‘Cats
are hanging with the pack of teams in the upper half of the league who are all
fighting for positioning.

leads the team in scoring with 28 goals and 35 assists in 34 games this year.
Saint John enters plays today with a 19-25-0-0 record.
They sit fifth in the Telus Maritimes Division and 15th overall in
the league. They are 3-7-0-0 in their last 10 games and ended their five-game
losing streak yesterday with a 2-1 shootout win over the Cape Breton Screaming
Eagles.
