The Sea Dogs haven't played at TD Station since Nov. 3. The team has slipped below the .500 mark with an 11-12-0-0 record but are 5-5-0-0 on home ice this season.
Saint John will play a Charlottetown team that has really been feeling the effects of their rebuild so far this season. The Islanders sit 16th overall in the QMJHL standings, meaning they would grab the final playoff spot if the post-season began today.
Game time for both contests at TD Station is 7 p.m. It's Pink in the Rink Weekend where the Sea Dogs will sport pink jerseys that will be auctioned off.
