| Mike Bernard/Charlottetown Islanders |
That's the question facing the team tonight when they host the Charlottetown Islanders at 7 p.m. at TD Station. The Sea Dogs have won back-to-back games, which includes a big 5-2 win in Halifax last night.
Last night's contest was Brian Casey's first as Sea Dogs head coach. The team came ready to play, outshooting the Mooseheads 22-3 and leading 2-0 after the first period.
Now we'll see what Casey can do with this team on home ice, where the team has struggled for much of the season. They'll also be facing an Islanders team that carries a four-game winning streak, including back-to-back victories over the Moncton Wildcats.
It's Wrestling Night at TD Station and the Sea Dogs will be wearing special jerseys.
