MEIER
Timo Meier was switched to a different line last night. He played on a line with Jonathan Drouin and Darcy Ashley. It helped obviously as he scored two goals.
DROUIN
Jonathan Drouin had his third straight three point night. This time he assisted on three goals, two of which were on Timo Meier's goals. He now has 14 points in eight games.
EHLERS
Nikolaj Ehlers continues to impress the fans and scouts in his rookie season. He still leads the team in scoring and the league in rookie scoring. He has twenty points in 18 games after recording 2 helpers in New Brunswick yesterday.
FIRST PERIOD
The first period was cut short by broken glass. Brendan Duke ripped off a slapshot which broke the glass behind the Titan goal. It was taking a while to clean up so with 4:24 left in the first, they decided to send the teams to their respective dressing rooms and finish the last four minutes after the intermission.
POINTS
Eight Moose players had at least one point during the game. There were four scorers, each one not getting a helper to with their goal(s). Odd turn of events. Check out below to make sense of it.
SHOTS
Some more odd things happened in Bathurst last night. Halifax had more shots in the first twenty minutes than the Titan did all game. This is partly because Acadie-Bathurst did not record a shot on goal in the third period. Shots ended 44 to 17 in favour of Halifax, 17 of those forty-four were considered dangerous.
OTHER SCORES
Cape Breton 4 - 5 Chicoutimi
Saint John 1 - 2 Baie-Comeau
Sherbrooke 2 - 7 Blainville
Victoriaville 3 - 5 Drummondville
Val-d'Or 2 - 4 Rouyn-Noranda
UP NEXT
The two teams meet again tonight at the Metro Centre for Saturday night hockey. Puck drops at 7pm.
