RECAP: Ehlers Leads Moose Comeback

Your Moosheads were down 2-0 to the hometown Rouyn-Noranda Huskies after 20 minutes but surmounted an amazing comeback on the back of Ehlers' 6 points night to win 8-5. The win give Halifax 4 straight victories and for the first time all year they are above .500 with a 13-12-2-1 record now.

It was a back and forth game in the second period.
