TV: Webcast | Radio: News 95.7 | Live: @HFXMooseheads

Centre Bionest de Shawinigan (4,125) ~ Shawinigan, QC

It's do or die for both teams tonight. After facing a record breaking 63 shots on Friday night in almost 5 periods, Eric Brassard could not replicate his performance on Sunday letting in 5 goals on 35 shots in a 6-1 loss that tied the series. The biggest story to come out of that game was Nikolaj Ehlers being ejected from the game for abusing the officials. Ehlers will not be suspended and will be in the lineup this evening as your Mooseheads try to take the upset series victory. Nik was upset after taking a double minor spearing penalty in the third period. It was one of 10 powerplays that the Shawinigan Cataractes had during the game. Halifax will need to keep their cool if they wish to win this game and move on to the next round. They will also need to play better defensively and try to limit the amount of shots that Brassard has to face. The 19 year old goalie has faced 250 shots over the course of 6 games, the most during this year's playoffs.
