Round 2 schedule released

PLAYOFFS

#2 Moncton Wildcats vs #12 Halifax Mooseheads

2nd round

Halifax Mooseheads and the Moncton Wildcats announced their second round schedule for the 2015 President Cup playoffs.

HALIFAX - If you asked people to predict who would win the round 1 matchup between the Mooseheads and the Shawinigan Cataractes, not many would reply with Halifax but thanks to leading scorer Nikolaj Ehlers the Herd are in the second round. They'll have just as tough a time against their Maritime rival as they did with the Cataractes. It will be just as physical too. There should be lots of scoring too as 2 of the top 5 leading scorers in the regular season are in this series. Conor Garland, who had 129 points in the regular season, has gone dry though as he's not even in the top 40 for playoff scoring.

HEAD-TO-HEAD ~ all-time: 144 games 64-66-4-8-2; this season: 9 games 3-4-2-0; playoffs: 16 games 10-6-0-0

LAST GAME - Halifax is coming off an exciting 3-2 overtime victory to clinch their first round series in 7 games versus Shawinigan while Moncton is coming off a 4-1 series clinching game 5 win over the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.

Tickets for the second round go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10am and fans can get them at the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, select Superstores, www.ticketatlantic.com or by calling (902) 451-1221
