The Sea Dogs will play their final game of the campaign at 4 p.m. at Centre 200 against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. It will be the second meeting between the two in less than 24 hours after the Screaming Eagles edged the Sea Dogs 3-2 last night.
The Sea Dogs must win today to avoid setting the team record for fewest wins in a season. On the flip side, a win today may push the Dogs into 17th overall, which would slightly decrease the odds of landing the first overall pick.
