The Sea Dogs face the Halifax Mooseheads in a New Year's Eve afternoon game. Game time is 2 p.m.
Saint John has had Halifax's number this season, winning four of the five previous meetings - and those games featured a much more "loaded" Mooseheads team than the one they will take on this afternoon.
