Pre-Season Game Day 2: at Bathurst

BATHURST
- The pre-season continues tonight for the Saint John Sea Dogs.

The Sea Dogs travel to Bathurst for rematch with the Titan. The two met on Tuesday night at TD Station where the Titan, despite being heavily outshot for most of the game, grabbed a 6-3 victory. Shots ended 50-19 in favour of Saint John.

Lineups had not been released at the time of this writing, but we'll likely see most of the players we didn't see on Tuesday. We'll also see if Saint John's goaltending can improve a bit after a rough debut.

Game time is 7 p.m.

TV/Radio/Webcast: None/None/Titan YouTube Channel

2020 pre-season records: The Sea Dogs are 0-1-0-0 this pre-season while the Titan are 1-0-0-0.

2019-20 records: The Sea Dogs finished the shortened season with a 30-33-1-0 record for 61 points (fourth Maritimes, sixth Eastern, 11th QMJHL) while the Titan were 12-40-8-4 for 36 points (sixth Maritimes, 10th Eastern, 18th QMJHL).

Last games: The Sea Dogs fell 6-3 to the Titan on Tuesday night at TD Station. Ben Allison scored a pair for Bathurst while singles came from Cael MacDonald, Mark Rumsey, Julien Bourget and Marc-Andre Gaudet. Charlie DesRoches scored two goals for Saint John and Carter McCluskey scored the other. Jack Howatt and Pierre-Vincent Guignard allowed three goals on 50 shots. Noah Patenaude and Daniel Moody allowed six goals on 19 shots.

2019-20 head-to-head: The Sea Dogs were 7-1-0-0 against the Titan last season while Bathurst went 1-6-0-1 against Saint John.

Last meeting: See above.

Ex-Sea Dogs on the Titan: Goaltender Tommy DaSilva.

Titan to watch (if he plays): Pretty good chance we'll see Tommy DaSilva in net tonight. As we wrote on Tuesday, "DaSilva doesn't have great career numbers in the QMJHL, but the odds of him playing well against his old club are high."

Random stat: Joshua Roy ended last season on a three-game point streak. He recorded points in 10 of his final 12 games.

Notes: This is the final meeting of the pre-season between these two teams... Saint John players who did not dress on Tuesday include goaltender Carmine-Anthony Pagliarulo; forwards Josh Lawrence and Joshua Roy; and defensemen Jeremie Poirier, Kale MacCallum and Brendan Sibley... every Sea Dogs player who dressed on Tuesday recorded at least one shot on goal.
