MISSING IN ACTION: Mac Weegar, Brian Lovell, Vince Watt and Liam Alcalde were all out because of injuries

FIRST PERIOD
The Moose played their worst period of the season last night in the first 20 minutes. They were outshot 9 to 4 and were down 2-0 going into the first intermission. Whatever coach Dom said to the boys certainly worked as they stormed back. Zach Fucale let in the goals on Drummondville's first 3 shots.

POWERPLAY
In the first period the powerplay was in favour of Drummondville as the Volts scored both of their goals with the man advantage. In the second, the powerplay helped the Herd get back in it. Even though Halifax didn't score on the pp in the middle frame, most of their 17 shots came with the men advantage.

THREE POINTS
Matt Murphy, Jonathan Drouin and Darcy Ashley had three point nights. Murphy had a goal and 2 assists. Drouin had three assists while Ashley scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season and added a helper. Last night was Matt's third 3 point night this month.

BAILEY
Brennan Bailey was called up to take the place of Mackenzie Weegar who is injured.

EHLERS
Nik Ehlers was hit hard in the second and laid on the ice for a few minutes. The refs whistled down the play and the Moose's therapist went out to check if he was okay. Ehlers was able to skate to the bench by himself and not miss a shift.

MEIER
Swedish rookie Timo Meier scored his 8th goal of the season EIGHT seconds into the third period. It is tied for the 3rd fastest goal in franchise history. Surprising it's not the fastest goal.

OTHER SCORES
Foreurs 4 - 2 Sagueneens
Sea Dogs 2 - 4 Tigres

UP NEXT
Halifax travels to Prince Edward Island today to take on the Charlottetown Islanders at the Eastlink Centre. Puck drops at 7pm.
