It's the final week of the regular season in the QMJHL and our Halifax Mooseheads will finish it with a 3 game home-stand which begins tonight against the Moncton Wildcats. Halifax left a few points on the table during their road trip where they lost three of the five games including a close one to Val-d'Or and unfortunately were knocked out of 1st place in the Eastern conference. They'll look to end the year strong as they head into the playoffs. These two clubs could even potentially play each other in the post-season still depending on how the matches this week go. Moncton is where most people thought they would be this season, maybe a bit higher up which is because of a very good start that they weren't expected to have. The Wildcats are rolling now as well having won 6 of their last 10 games including being on a 4-0-1-1 streak currently. When the Mooseheads get their 48th victory of 2018-19, it will be the second most wins the club has had in one season just behind the 58 Halifax got n 2012-13.
This is the ninth and final meeting between these two teams this season. Halifax is 6-1-1-0 against the Wildcats while Moncton has a 2-5-1-0 record versus the Mooseheads. The lone Mooseheads regulation loss came on Saturday when Moncton took a 3-2 victory on home ice with Samuel Asselin and Arnaud Durandeau scored for Halifax.

Wildcats: 36-20-4-5 = 81pts (7th overall, 3rd in Maritimes division)
