PREVIEW
SAINT JOHN – Two teams on losing streaks meet tonight at Harbour Station.

The Saint John Sea Dogs, losers of nine straight, host the Charlottetown Islanders, losers of four straight, this evening at 7pm. Both teams have cooled down after solid starts to the season.

The Sea Dogs sit sixth in the Telus Maritimes Division and 17th overall with a 5-11-0-2 record. They haven’t won a game since October 6th.

Saint John played last night and lost 6-2 to the Moncton Wildcats. An undisciplined third period where they allowed four goals was the difference.

The Islanders meanwhile enter action today with a 10-5-0-2 record. They sit second in the Maritimes Division and ninth overall in the league. Charlottetown is four points back of the division leading Halifax Mooseheads but have played four fewer games.

This is the fourth meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Islanders. Charlottetown has won the previous three.
