SERIES
Halifax leads the best-of-seven series 3-1

PREVIEW - The Halifax Mooseheads will have a chance to win the QMJHL championship title on home ice in front of a sellout crowd.

After scaring us fans at the Grand Parade going down 2-0 early in the second period, the Herd came back big to come home up 3-1 in their series against the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. For the second game in a row, Halifax seemed to be affected by the loud Drakkar crowd allowing the first two goals of the game. Petr Straka scored at the 1:30 mark of the middle frame to put his team ahead 2-0. Jonathan Drouin and Marty Frk scored 15 seconds apart to tie the game up for Halifax. Carl Gelinas would put the home team up 3-2 at the 8:41 mark. Frk scored his second of the game to tie it again this time at 3 and the Mooseheads wouldn't look back from there scoring another 3 goals to end the period up 6-3.

There was once again some rough stuff close to the end of the game with Alec Jon Banville charging into Zach Fucale and the Charles Poulin knocking into Fucale while in the corner. Trey Lewis came to his goalie's rescue and fought tow guys at once, receiving an aggressor penalty and an automatic suspension. The rest of the guys on ice decided to fight too with each other, the goalies stayed out of the fighting this time though.

Fucale had to stop the most shots in this playoffs in Game 4 as Baie-Comeau led the pucks to the net 43-27.

NOT PLAYING - Lovell, Bailey, Alcalde, Lindsay and Lacroix-Courville will probably all be healthy scratches again tonight and Trey Lewis was suspended for 1 game. Banville and Verpaelst were both suspended too.
