Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

It's been one week since most of your Halifax Mooseheads have played a hockey game. Zach Fucale played for Team QMJHL on Tuesday night picking up a big victory with 40 saves. Your Halifax Mooseheads will be hoping he can do that again tonight when they welcome the second overall team in points, the Rimouski Oceanic to the Scotiabank Centre. The Mooseheads will have to be disciplined and play a full 60 minutes if they want to pull away with the win. 

This is the first game of season between these two teams. Halifax was 1-0-0-1 last year against the Oceanic including a 8-1 victory in their first meeting back in January. 

Overall Records
Oceanic: 17-6-1-1 = 36 points (2nd in East division, 4th overall)
Mooseheads: 9-12-2-1 = 21 points (4th in Maritimes division, 15th overall)

Leading Scorers
HFX: Timo Meier 27pts (11G & 16A), Nikolaj Ehlers 24pts (9G & 15A), Philippe Gadoury 18pts (8G & 10A)
