GAMEDAY

TV: Eastlink | Radio: News 95.7 | Live: @MC_MooseCountry
Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

The Mooseheads will appreciate the members of the Canadian Forces tonight when they welcome nationally 3rd ranked Saint John to the Scotiabank Centre. It's the 11th annual DND Appreciation Night game in Halifax where the boys will wear special commemorative Canadian Submarine Force themed jerseys. The proceeds from the jersey raffle will be given to the QEII Foundation - Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Garden. Be sure to say thank you to the men and women you see in uniform for defending our country. 

Halifax will have a hard time to keep their mini 2 game win streak alive against the Sea Dogs who have gotten a point in their last 6 games. After two seasons off of the BMO Top 10 rankings, Saint John is back on the list making it's way up the ladder. The Herd's slow start this season has kept them off the list but the team is looking a lot more confident and it showed this past weekend with the team winning both games. It should be a fun game with the special celebrations and the rivalry that the Moose and Dogs have experienced this season. 

This is the fourth game of the season between these two teams. Saint John leads the series 3-0-0-0 which is quite different then last year where Halifax had a 7-1-0-0 record against them. Nikolaj Ehlers and Vince Watt scored a goal each for the Mooseheads in their last meeting back on October 11, a game which the Sea Dogs won 5-2. 

Overall Records
Sea Dogs: 12-3-0-3 = 27 points (1st in Maritimes division, 2nd overall)
Mooseheads: 7-10-1-1 = 16 points (5th in Martimes division, 15th overall)

Leading Scorers
HFXTimo Meier 20pts (8G & 12A), Philippe Gadoury 15pts (8G & 7A), Nikolaj Ehlers 14pts (5G & 9A)
SNB: Adam Marsh 20pts (11G & 9A), Nathan Noel 18pts (9G & 9A), Thomas Chabot 16pts (4G & 12A)

Last Games
Saint John is coming off a 4-2 on the road in Bathurst on Wednesday night. Mark Tremaine led the Dogs with 2 assists while Sebastien Auger made 33 saves on 35 shots versus the Titan.

Halifax is coming off their first shutout win, beating Charlottetown 3-0 on the island on Sunday evening. Nikolaj Ehlers led the Mooseheads with a goal and 2 assists with Zach Fucale getting the shutout making 20 saves.
