HAIFAX MOOSEHEADS vs. ROUYN-NORANDA HUSKIES

Puck drops at 7pm

Metro Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

PREVIEW ~ Four straight. The Halifax Mooseheads will be looking for their fourth straight win when they take on the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies tonight. If they do win it will be the longest win streak of the season for the Herd who won three in a row earlier this month on the road. Jonathan Drouin made his home debut last night against Val-d'Or and helped the team to a 5-2 win with three assists while Nikolaj Ehlers, who is from Denmark, played very well in front of some of his family. Halifax is getting closer to the Charlottetown Islanders in points, they are only one point behind the newly renamed PEI team.


This is the first of two meetings between the Mooseheads and Huskies this season. They will meet again in two weeks time in Rouyn-Noranda.
