The Sea Dogs are coming off an overtime loss in Bathurst yesterday afternoon and have now dropped four straight games. Saint John is still alive in the playoff race but, with nine games remaining, their chances are getting slimmer. The Sea Dogs are five points out of the final playoff spot(s) heading into action today.
This is the first of back-to-back games between the Sea Dogs and Eagles at TD Station. In an odd scheduling quirk, the two meet this afternoon and then again on Tuesday night.
