SERIES

Halifax leads the best-of-seven series 1-0

PREVIEW - The Halifax Mooseheads are now only 3 wins away from their first President's Cup.

Halifax just keeps on winning and lead their final series against Baie-Comeau after one game. After almost 40 minutes of a scoreless game, Konrad Abeltshauser scored the first goal of the game and his fifth of the playoffs. In the third however Halifax were able to get their footing back and get pucks past the goaltender with a 3 goal last twenty minutes. What looked like what was going to be the Herd's only second two goal game ended being a four goal game. The Moose got a goal from Ryan Falkenham to make it a 3-0 game with just over 5 minutes left in the period. That was his first ever playoff goal. Stefan Fournier scored his team leading 14th in the empty net with 1:05 left to put the game away while Zach Fucale came up big at times on his way to a 28 save shutout.

Nathan MacKinnon was held off the score sheet for the first time since Game 2 in the series against Saint John. Jonathan Drouin recorded an assist. There was a lot of rough stuff during the first game with 11 roughing penalties and six unsportsmanlike conducts.

Baie-Comeau was able to outshoot Halifax in the first period but by the end of the game they were the ones outshot by a 34-28 margin.

NOT PLAYING - Lovell, Bailey, Alcalde, Lindsay and Lacroix-Courville will probably all be healthy scratches again tonight.
