Game Day 55: vs. Saint John

PREVIEW - In normal seasons, we would be in the midst of playoffs right now but our Halifax Mooseheads still have about a quarter of the regular season remaining. The Mooseheads will welcome the Saint John Sea Dogs for some midweek hockey tonight in the second half of a home-and-home series. Saint John and Halifax met on Sunday in New Brunswick with the road team picking up a surprising 5-4 victory. It was a back and forth game with lots of scoring in the third period, 5 goals in the first half of the final period. Halifax has had a really hard month going 4-10 in March being outscored 81-47 in those games and it has caused some space in the Maritimes division after a log jam for most of the season. The Sea Dogs meanwhile have been great since the Christmas break which has included a 10 game win streak during March. Will we see the team we saw on Sunday or will the Herd be dominated once again?
