Bulldogs host Capitals tonight to open four game homestand

It's the opening of a four-game home stand tonight for the Bulldogs (22-18-1-2, 4th Island) as they host the Cowichan Valley Capitals (30-12-4-2, 1st Island) for the first meeting between the Island Division rivals in over a month.

The Bulldogs were last in action in Victoria on Saturday night, where they fell 4-1 to the Grizzlies. The Capitals were in Coquitlam on Sunday afternoon, where they emerged victorious 2-1 over the  Express - handing Coquitlam their  first home ice loss of the season in the process.

Fun fact - or not very fun for the opposition perhaps....the Capitals have ONE regulation defeat in their last 16 games, a 4-3  loss in Trail on December 20th.

These teams last met December 13th in Duncan, a 3-2 Bulldog win in overtime. Prior to that, the Capitals earned a 6-4 win at the Multiplex on November 30th. The Bulldogs won 6-5 in overtime in Duncan on November 23rd, and also earned a 4-3 win over the Capitals at the Dog Pound on October 25th. The Bulldogs won the first meeting of the season in Port Alberni 3-1 on October 5th, after the Capitals earned a 3-2 win in the first meeting of the season on September 20th in Duncan.
