Comeback Needed.

COXHEATH - It needed a shootout but the Halifax Mooseheads came back from a 2-0 deficit last night to win the second meeting of the provincial rivals during the preseason. Local boy Andrew Shewfelt scored the game winner after scoring during regulation to tie it up. Cape Breton outshot the Mooseheads most of the game except in the middle frame. All four goalies played in the game, each standing up for half the game. Kevin Darveau of the Herd and Francis Leonard-Mayer stood up tall during the shootout, it took 5 rounds before Shewfelt finally scored for Halifax in the 5th round.
