Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

One comes back in, the other goes out. The Moynihan brothers have not played together for about half a month and they'll have to wait two more games to once again. Connor is returning from an upper body injury just as his older sibling is out for tonight and Friday's games because of a suspension. That's one story heading into this evening's tilt against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in a mid week affair. It's a battle of the two worst teams in Maritimes division and both are coming off overtime games on the weekend. How will Halifax rebound after back to back losses this past weekend? We will have to see, it should be a good game with both teams trying to get some consistency. 

This is the third game between the Mooseheads and Titan. Bathurst is 2-0-0-0 against Halifax this season. The last meeting was exactly one month ago in Bathurst, with the Titan coming away with a 2-0 win. Zach Fucale made 30 saves for the loss. 

Overall Records

Titan: 6-15-1-0 = 13 points (6th in Maritimes division, 18th overall)

Mooseheads: 7-11-2-1 = 17 points (5th in Maritimes division, 15th overall)

Leading Scorers

HFX: Timo Meier 23pts (9G & 14A), Nikolaj Ehlers 17pts (6G & 11A), Philippe Gadoury 16pts (8G & 8A)
