Centre Videotron (18,259) ~ Quebec City, QC

After having just one game at home your Mooseheads head back on the road to Quebec. With all of the injuries and the two players away with Hockey Canada, the Mooseheads announced that they have recalled goaltender Raphael Blais as well as forward Cole Stewart. After the game between these two teams at the Scotiabank Centre, its expected to be a tight playoff-like game. You can expect to see some good goaltending out of veteran goalie Blade Mann-Dixon like we have seen most of the season and more so now that Alex Gravel is gone down due to injury. This is the first of three games in Quebec for the Herd. With getting 8 of a possible 10 points in the last five games, your Mooseheads look to build on the early success that they have had already this season. As the last trip to Quebec was, this is going to be a big test for the young team. They will look for the continued offence from captain Maxime Fortier, rookie Filip Zadina as well as sophomore player Benoit-Oliver Groulx as well as others to help and keep the strong play going.
