To kick off the weekend early, your Halifax Mooseheads will host the Saint John Sea Dogs for some Thursday night hockey. The Herd will play four games over five days and it begins with student night this evening. Saint John has had an interesting start to the season with winning three close matches but basically being blown out in their losses. Zachary Bouthillier and co. have let in the second most goals at 34 markers but they have scored a fair amount as well. They are being led by veteran Nicholas Deakin-Poot who has six goals and 9 points. Nicholas is often a thorn in the side of the Mooseheads and he'll hope to lead his team to another victory. Halifax hasn't had the offensive power quite yet but the club had a successful road trip to the province of Quebec, losing just their match against heavy favourite Chicoutimi. The Moose skated away with a close on Saturday evening though, when Maxim Trepanier scored the overtime winner to defeat the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 4-3.

This is the second game between these two teams this season. Halifax is 0-1-0-0 against the Sea Dogs while Saint John has a 1-0-0-0 record versus the Mooseheads. The last match-up was the season opener in the New Brunswick city with the home team winning 4-3. Marcel Barinka and Raphael Lavoie each had a goal and an assist in the loss while Alex Gravel made 21 saves. 

Overall records
Sea Dogs: 3-4-0-0 = 6pts (5th in Maritimes division, 12th overall)
