Since I am going on the road with the Mooster Club, I figured I would preview this weekend's trip through the province of Quebec. The first stop on the trip will be visiting the largest arena in the Canadian Hockey League for some Friday night hockey. Games between the Quebec Remparts and the Halifax Mooseheads are always entertaining, including last year. The Mooseheads will than be travelling south part of the province to take on the Sherbrooke Phoenix. There isn't much history between Halifax and the Phoenix as the team that wears blue and white has only been in the league for two and a half seasons. Halifax's last home game was against the Drummondville Voltigeurs and that's who they'll end this four game road streak against on Sunday evening.

Pepsi Colisee (15,176) ~ Quebec City, QC
This is the second game of the season series, with Halifax coming out on top on December 11th in 4-3 home overtime victory. Former Herd player Matt Murphy scored twice for the Mooseheads while Kevin Resop made 30 saves. The Remparts have a 26-17-1-2 record which is good enough for 55 points and 5th overall in the standings. Quebec is led by Dmytro Timashov (15G & 48A), Adam Erne (27G & 28A), and Guillaume Gauthier (19G & 25A). The Remparts are coming off a 3-2 loss on Sunday at home despite outshooting the Charlottetown Islanders 38-29. Nikolas Brouillard had a goal and an assist to lead Quebec while Fucale made 26 saves to take the loss.

Palais des Sports Leopold-Drolet (3,646) ~ Sherbrooke, QC
Halifax has yet to play the Phoenix this season. The Mooseheads were 1-1-0-0 against Sherbrooke last season while the blue and white team was 1-0-0-1 in 2013-14. This will be only the 6th meeting between these two teams with our boys having the advantage in the series, after winning all three games during the 2012-13 season. The Phoenix have a 24-16-1-3 record, good enough for 8th overall in the standings. Sherbrooke's top 3 scorers are Daniel Audette (19G & 30A), Kay Schweri (7G & 41A), and Tim Wieser (30G & 15A). The Phoenix are coming off an almost collapse to the sixth overall Sea Dogs on Sunday at home. Audette helped Sherbrooke build a 4-0 lead with 2 goals and 2 assists in the game before Saint John forced a shootout. Evan Fitzpatrick made 28 saves to get the 6-5 victory.
DRUMMONDVILLE VOLTIGEURS vs. HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS

Centre Marcel Dionne (4,000) ~ Drummondville, QC
When this game is played, there will be 10 days between this matchup and the previous one these two teams played. The Mooseheads hosted the Volts back on January 15 and skated away with a hard fought 3-2 shootout victory. Anthony Brodeur stopped 53 of Halifax's 55 shots in regulation and overtime but couldn't stop a nice goal by Cavan Fitzgerald in the shootout. The Voltigeurs has 45 points with a 21-21-0-3 for a 14th place in the standings. Joey Ratelle (27G & 12A), Alex Barre-Boulet (14G & 19A) and George Golovkovs (9G & 18A) lead Drummondville in scoring so far this season. The Voltigeurs are coming off a 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Screaming Eagles in Sydney on Saturday. Drummondville was once again out-shot, only getting 14 pucks on Cape Breton's net. Joe Fleschler made 22 saves letting in 4 goals before being replaced by Brodeur who made 8 saves.
