Your Halifax Mooseheads welcome the last Quebec team to the Scotiabank Centre this afternoon as they host the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada today at 3pm, the remaining 4 home games will be against division rivals. The Mooseheads continued to roll last night agains Saint John scoring the most goals they have this season with 11 and will be hoping to take down the 15th place Armada. The two teams met towards the end of November with Blainville picking up the victory so Halifax will look to get some revenge. Halifax has done well on home ice and have given the Moose Country faithful a lot to cheer for and some exciting tight games. Blainville has won two in a row on this Maritime road trip but will be playing their third game in 3 days. The Armada are led by their captain and 20 year old Alexander Katerankis who has had a career year in 2018-19 so look out for him today. Halifax spread out the scoring love on Saturday evening as leading scorer Samuel Asselin didn’t even pick up a goal however his line mates Raphael Lavoie and Antoine Morand potted two and a single, respectively.

This is the second and final match between these two teams this season. Halifax is 0-1-0-0 against the Armada while Blainville-Boisbriand has a 1-0-0-0 records versus the Mooseheads. The last matchup was back on November 29 in Blainville where the Armada picked up a 3-1 victory as Jared McIsaac scored the lone goal for the away team.
