The Sea Dogs and Halloween

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SAINT JOHN - For the fifth time in team history, the Saint John Sea Dogs will play on Halloween.

The Sea Dogs are 2-2-0 all-time on Oct. 31 with three of those four games having taken place on home ice. It's also the second straight year that the team will play on Halloween.

Here's a quick look at past results.

2010-11: 7-0 win at Rouyn-Noranda

Michael Kirkpatrick and Stanislav Galiev each scored twice while Mike Thomas added a goal and two assists in the road win. Frederic Piche, who is still playing senior hockey in Quebec, made 28 saves in the shutout win.

2012-13: 2-1 loss vs Blainville-Boisbriand

Ryan Tesink scored Saint John's only goal while Aidan Kelly was named third star. Jonathan Huberdeau was still with the Sea Dogs at the time due to the NHL lockout.

2015-16: 5-3 win vs Val-d'Or

Matthew Highmore and Daniel Del Paggio each had a goal and an assist. Nathan Noel added two helpers. Marc-Antoine Turcotte made 29 saves in the win.

2019-20: 6-1 loss vs Rimouski

Jonna Lehmus scored Saint John's only goal a year ago. Rimouski's big line of Cedric Pare (three goals and three assists), Alexis Lafreniere (four assists) and Dmitry Zavgorodniy (one goal and four assists) lit up Saint John.

The Sea Dogs will look to end a four-game losing streak this afternoon against the Cape Breton Eagles at TD Station. Creed Jones (0-3, 5.11 GAA and .827 SV%) will likely get the start.

Note today's 3 p.m. start time.
