The Newfoundland Growlers begin their five-game road trip with a busy weekend that sees the club play three games in four days. Thursday’s matchup against the Gladiators was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but was postponed due to travel delays. This weekend series marks the only time this season the Growlers face off against the Gladiators (Bruins), Stingrays (Capitals) and Swamp Rabbits (no NHL affiliate).
