| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
The Sea Dogs played yesterday at TD Station, defeating the Moncton Wildcats 3-1 to extend their winning streak to three games. That game ended around 6:30 p.m. This afternoon at 3 p.m., they'll play in Sydney – which is not a short trek for this quick of a turnaround.
The Sea Dogs were expected to travel to Antigonish last night and complete the journey to Sydney today.
Adding to the logistical challenge is the fact that the Sea Dogs have to play the Eagles. Cape Breton has won four straight games, which began with a dominant 4-1 win in Saint John on Oct. 17.
2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 9-4-1-1 for 20 points (fourth Eastern/sixth QMJHL) while the Eagles are 6-3-1-3 for 16 points (fifth Eastern/ninth QMJHL).
