GAMEDAY #28: at Rouyn-Noranda

GAMEDAY
ROUYN-NORANDA HUSKIES vs. HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS

TV: Webcast | Radio: News 95.7 | Live: @HFXMooseheads 
Arena Iamgold (2,150) ~ Rouyn-Noranda, QC

Can we officially say they have connected as a team? I would say yes we can. The Mooseheads may not be as dominate as they have been the past two seasons but they still got some power. Halifax welcomed the league's best last weekend and chased their starting goaltender on their way to a 8-2 victory over the Rimouski Oceanic. That explosive game started the Herd's first three game win streak of the season. They'll be looking to continue their strong play against a team that is only 3 points ahead of them. Rouyn-Noranda is on top of a group of four teams that has 30 points. 

This is the second and last match up between these two teams this season. The Huskies won the last meeting back at the beginning of October. Alexandre Fortin and Antoine Waked had a goal and an assist each to lead Rouyn-Noranda to a 5-0 win on the road. 

Overall Records
Mooseheads: 12-12-2-1 = 27 points (4th in Maritimes division, 13th overall)
Huskies: 14-11-2-0 = 30 points (3rd in West division, 8th overall)

Leading Scorers
ROU: Francis Perron 35pts (15G & 20A), Mathieu Lemay 31pts (18G & 13A), Ryan Penny 27pts (13G & 14A)
HFX: Timo Meier 36pts (17G & 19A), Nikolaj Ehlers 35pts (11G & 24A), Philippe Gadoury 23pts (9G & 14A)
