Tonight, the Mooseheads are playing their first game of 2013 against the Moncton Wildcats. These two teams have met three times already this season with the Moose winning two of the contests. The latest contest turned out to be a 8-6 win for the red, green and gold on December 15 in Moncton where Matt Boudreau scored a hat trick and Wildcats' Christophe Lalonde got four of Moncton's goals. The only loss for Halifax in this series came in Moncton with the Cats winning 3-0 on the last Sunday afternoon of November.
The Mooseheads are riding a 7 game winning streak and are 9-0-1-0 in their last 10 games overall, while Moncton is 5-4-1-0 in their last 10 and are 9-10-0-0 on the road this season. Halifax still has not lost at home since the opener and is now 17-1-0-0 at the Metro Centre this season with 14 more home games to go after tonight. MacKinnon, Drouin and Frk will not be in the lineup as they are still playing in the World Juniors in Ufa.
