PINK IN THE RINK
The 6th annual Pink in the Rink event was once again a success for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Atlantic Region. The pink jerseys that the Mooseheads were wearing were pretty cool this year. They were full pink with the colored Herd logo on the front.
HAT TRICK
With the net empty two players were able to get a hat trick last night but Nikolaj Ehlers decided to give up his chance and gave it to Brent Andrews to score the empty net goal and the hat trick one.
INJURIES
Halifax has been hit by the injury bug big this year already. Trey Lewis is out with tears in his hip, while Jonathan Drouin just got back from a groin injury and now Ryan Falkenham is out for the season after needing surgery on both hips.
EHLERS
European rookie Ehlers recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick last night. He scored two goals and had the chance to score a hat trick late in the third. He recorded two assists as well and fought Louick Marcotte halfway through the last frame. He was escorted off the ice for getting a game misconduct from the fight.
