Harbour Station (6,200) ~ Saint John, NB

Welcome to 2015. Your Halifax Mooseheads travel to Saint John for the first game of the new year and will be looking to start off 2015 the way they ended 2014, with a victory. The goaltending is going to have to be stellar tonight as the Sea Dogs have had the Herd's number so far this season. With two wins in the two games that he has begun, Eric Brassard might be our #1 goalie for the rest of the season with Kevin Resop getting a game here or there. I predict that we will see another feisty game like there has been all season between these two teams, with former Sea Dogs player Kelly Bent in the thick of it.

Your Mooseheads have a 0-4-1-0 record against Saint John this season while the Sea Dogs are a perfect 5-0-0-0 against Halifax. The two teams last met about a month ago on December 6 with Saint John skating away with a 3-1 win in Moose Country. Timo Meier had the lone goal for Halifax while Zach Fucale made 20 saves in his last ever start for the Moose.

Overall Records
Mooseheads: 19-16-2-1 = 41 points (3rd in Maritimes division, 9th overall)
Sea Dogs: 22-10-1-4 = 49 points (2nd in Maritimes division, 5th overall)

Leading Scorers
SNB: Adam Marsh 31pts (17G & 14A), Nathan Noel 30pts (12G & 18A), Spencer Smallman 30pts (11G & 19A)
HFX: Nikolaj Ehlers 47pts (16G & 31A), Timo Meier 46pts (21G & 25A), Danny Moynihan 38pts (17G & 21A)

Last Games
Your Mooseheads finished 2014 with a bang, defeating the visiting Charlottetown Islanders 5-1 on New Year's Eve. Danny Moynihan had 3 assists to lead Halifax in points and Phil Gadoury scored twice while Eric Brassard made 22 saves for the win.

Saint John is coming off a home victory against Cape Breton, winning 6-3 on Wednesday afternoon. Mathieu Joseph led the Sea Dogs with a goal and 2 assists while Sebastien Auger stopped 27 of the Screaming Eagles 30 shots.
