K.C. Irving Regional Centre (3,162) ~ Bathurst, NB

For the first time since September, rookie goaltender Kevin Resop will be making his second straight start with Zach Fucale being away in Toronto for Team Canada selection camp. Resop was pretty strong in his first start in a month on Thursday night. Halifax will be looking to take the thrilling emotions from Thursday's victory and continue it's winning ways. It should be an easy win but they most times are not in hockey. Bathurst will be hungry for a win coming off three losses but they have players that can lead them there. 

This is the fourth game between the Titan and Mooseheads with Halifax having a 1-2-0-0 record against Bathurst this season. That one win almost didn't even happen with former Herd player Andrew Ryan scoring with 0.3 seconds left to force overtime but Nikolaj Ehlers scored the shootout winner. 

Overall Records
Mooseheads: 15-14-2-1 = 33 points (3rd in Maritimes division, 12th overall)
Titan: 9-22-1-1 = 20 points (6th in Maritimes division, 18th overall)
