After a full week of practice and preparation, the Charlottetown Islanders are back on the ice in a Saturday night showdown across the Confederation Bridge against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
The Islanders (13-21-2-1) were in need of that full week of practice; the Isles have lost three straight and nine of their past ten games, with their one victory coming against the Titan. After a decent amount of player movement, this week represented the first time the whole group practiced together.
The same could be said for the Titan (14-19-4-2) who have lost four straight and five of their past six games. Bathurst recently traded away franchise players Jacob Melanson and Riley Kidney during the QMJHL's holiday trading period.
