PLAYOFFS

#5 Shawinigan Cataractes vs #12 Halifax Mooseheads

1st round

The Halifax Mooseheads announced their first round schedule for the playoffs which they are playing against the Shawinigan Cataractes.

HALIFAX - Well here we go. It's time for the biggest part of the season; the playoffs!! For the first time in 3 years, Halifax will not have home ice advantage during the playoffs. A rebuilding year has the Mooseheads at 12th overall in the Quebec league this season. They'll be playing against a team that has the third best goaltender in goals against average in Marvn Cupper, the Shawinigan Cataractes. Something else is different about this series then the previous few first round match-ups. The Herd will be playing a Quebec team which they haven't done in the 1st round since 2011. Because of that, it will be a 2-3-2 series.

HEAD-TO-HEAD ~ all-time: 72 games 31-32-8-1-0; this season: 2 games 1-1-0-0; playoffs: 9 games 5-4-0-0

LAST GAME - the Mooseheads are coming off a 5-2 victory over the Moncton Wildcats to end the season on a high note on Sunday evening while Shawinigan ended the year with a 4-1 loss to the Gatineau Olympiques on Saturday night.

A limited amount of tickets will be available for the general public starting on Thursday morning at 10am at the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, select Superstore Outlets, www.ticketatlantic.com, the Halifax Forum or by calling (902) 451-1221
