Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

Halifax will be looking to get out of it's current funk and give home fans something to cheer about this evening. The Mooseheads have been showing some improvement but they haven't been able to play a complete 60 minute yet. It's a new month and the team is slowly getting members back. Jesse Lussier announced yesterday via Twitter that he will be returning to the lineup tonight. He has been out since the season opener with a broken wrist. This will mean that Dom Ducharme will be making a change to the lines. 

This is the second game between these two teams. The Moncton Wildcats shutout the Herd back in September winning 3-0. Christophe Lalonde led the Cats with a goal and 2 assists while Kevin Resop made 22 saves on 24 shots to take the loss. 

Overall Records

Wildcats: 10-7-0-0 = 20 points (2nd in Maritimes division, 7th overall)

Mooseheads: 5-10-1-1 = 12 points (5th in Maritimes division, 16th overall)
