Home game number 16 goes tonight at 7:00pm and will be played against the Prince Edward Island Rocket. The Rocket are hosts to two of the top three scoring leaders so far this season with the Moose being host to the other, Nathan MacKinnon, who will not be playing tonight. Both Nate and Jonathan Drouin are currently playing for the Canadian junior team against the University of Calgary as I write this. They will know by tonight if they will represent our nation later in the month starting on Boxing Day in Ufa, Russia. Halifax can tie a team record tonight for consective home wins if they are able to beat PEI for the fourth time this season. In three games versus the Rocket, Halifax has scored an average of 7.33 goals, winning 8-1 on Sept 23 and 7-5 on October 17 in PEI, and most recently 7-3 at the Metro Centre on October 28.
Brad Cuzner will play tonight as a replacement for the still injured Konrad Abeltshauser. Halifax is going into the game with a 8-1-1-0 record in their last 10 games overall while PEI are 5-4-1-0 in their last 10 and have a 6-7-1-0 record on the road so far this season.
Overall record:
PEI: 17-12-2-0 = 36 points (3rd in Maritimes Division, 8th overall)
HFX: 25-3-1-1 = 52 points (1st in Maritimes Division, 1st overall)
