SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs will try once again to get their first win of the season.

The Sea Dogs are off to an 0-3-0-0 start following a 5-2 loss to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan last night at the KC Irving Regional Centre. The Sea Dogs had a better start - despite allowing a goal 11 seconds in - but struggled late, allowing three third period goals.

The Sea Dogs and Sherbrooke Phoenix enter action today as the only QMJHL teams that haven't earned a point yet.

Game time tonight at TD Station is 7 p.m.

Titan to watch: Hampton native Jaxon Bellamy has three assists in three games this season.

Random stat: The Sea Dogs have struggled to get their offense rolling, averaging just two goals per game. They've scored only one power play goal on 13 opportunities.

Notes: Brady Burns and Josh Lawrence each have five points to lead the Sea Dogs... Burns has a team high three goals... Lawrence leads the team in assists with four... Bennett MacArthur leads the Titan in scoring with seven points... Riley Kidney has a Bathurst high three goals... MacArthur leads the club in assists with five... the Titan have the third best power play in the league with a rating of 27.3%... the Titan's penalty kill has yet to allow a goal... the Sea Dogs are averaging a league high 4.67 goals against per game... Burns has goals in three straight games... probably a good chance Noah Patenaude makes his first start of the season tonight... the Titan are still without Hendrix Lapierre (Washington Capitals camp) while the Sea Dogs are without Ryan Francis (Stockton Heat camp).
