It's been a rough return to play from the Christmas break for the Sea Dogs, who have been outscored 21-7 in the three losses. Those losses all happened without Peter Reynolds (who was traded to the Halifax Mooseheads) and Eriks Mateiko (who has been playing with Latvia at the world juniors).
The Sea Dogs will host an Islanders team tonight that is just three points ahead of them in the standings. The two also meet tomorrow night in Charlottetown. These two games could prove to be key in the standings down the road.
Game time tonight is 7 p.m.
