Game time tonight at TD Station is 7 p.m.
The Sea Dogs are coming off a 2-1 overtime win over the Quebec Remparts on Sunday, which was a solid rebound performance from an ugly 3-0 loss to the Charlottetown Islanders on Friday. Stringing together solid performances has been a struggle for the Sea Dogs in the second half, who still haven't recorded a regulation time win since early December.
The Sagueneens, meanwhile, begin a three-game trip through the Maritimes which will also include stops in Halifax and Sydney. Chicoutimi has been sitting third in the Eastern Conference (and fourth overall in the league) for a bit, now four points back of the division rival Rimouski Oceanic.
