VAL-D'OR FOREURS vs. HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS

Series: VDO leads 2-0

Puck drops at 8:30pm

Air Creebec Centre (3,504) ~ Val-d'Or, QC

PREVIEW - Comeback. For the first time in two seasons the Halifax Mooseheads find themselves in a hole down 2 games to none in their semi final series against the Val-d'Or Foreurs. They're going to have to figure out the secret of beating Antoine Bibeau who has been quite good saving 60 of 64 Moosehead shots in the first two games of the series. Halifax will also have to smarten up on defence as they have allowed a few odd man rushes and have spent more time in their own end than they normally do. It's going to be a hard road back for the Herd but if they can clean up their game a bit and get back to the basics this series will get interesting quite quickly. The Foreurs, despite being outshot in both games in Nova Scotia, have quieted Nikolaj Ehlers and Jonathan Drouin to just 3 points between them in the first two games. They will be looking to keep the two forwards off the scoreshort this week while Moose fans will be hoping both will explode in the two road games.

NOT PLAYING - healthy scratches will be made before the game while Ryan Falkenham is of course still out
