GAMEDAY 19: vs Acadie-Bathurst

IT'S GAMEDAY

HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS vs. ACADIE-BATHURST TITAN

Puck drops at 7pm

Metro Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

PREVIEW - Who's going to come out on top this time? The road Acadie-Bathurst Titan or the home Halifax Mooseheads. After splitting the two games last weekend, your Mooseheads have won both games this week. The first was again the 4th ranked Charlottetown Islanders while the other was against these very same Titan last night in Bathurst. Yes it's a home and home series between these two rivals with the games always interesting. Former Herd defenseman Dominic Beauchemin makes his second trip to Moose Country in enemy colors. This should be a good one as it will once again be a goaltending battle. Jacob Brennan and Zach Fucale have virtually the same save percentage with Fucale on top by 0.001 percent but Brennan has seen more pucks come his way.

THE NUMBERS

Leading scorers
BAT: Raphael Lafontaine 16pts (7G & 9A), Adam Stevens 11pts (7G & 4A), Dominic Beachemin 11pts (5G & 6A)
