Can you believe it? The Halifax Mooseheads are on the road this weekend in Quebec for their last 3 games against french teams and their first stop is Chicoutimi. It will be the first time the Moose will be seeing former teammate Jesse Lussier since GM Cam Russell traded the 20 year old to the Saguneens back in January. Halifax look to get a bit closer to home ice advantage in the playoffs with another victory. The Herd have collected at least a point in their last 4 games. 

This is the second and last meeting of these two teams this season. Chicoutimi and Halifax met back in September on the 26th with the Moose coming out on top. Philippe Gadoury led the team to a 6-4 victory with 2 goals and 2 assists while Zach Fucale made 27 saves.

Mooseheads: 28-23-4-2 = 62 points (3rd in Maritimes division, 11th overall)
