The Sea Dogs play the Mooseheads three straight times to close out the first half of the season. The two meet tonight at 7 p.m. at TD Station and again next Friday and Saturday in Halifax.
Tonight will be Saint John's final home game until New Year's Eve. It hasn't been a great first half for the Dogs on home ice, posting a 5-9-2-1 record. They are tied with the Shawinigan Cataractes for the fewest home wins in the league.
The Mooseheads, meanwhile, have been struggling of late and are just 5-3-2-0 in their last 10 games. They'll soon be missing several key players due to Team Canada world junior selection camp.
