PLAYOFF GAME #15: vs. Drummondville

PREVIEW

HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS VS DRUMMONDVILLE VOLTIGEURS

Game Four of Round Three

Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

HALIFAX - Who's ready for some mid-week Halifax Mooseheads hockey? Our hometown boys find themselves up 2-1 in their series now winning the last two games, including a big tight battle on Tuesday evening which resulted in a 2-1 victory for Halifax. The team will be looking to stifle the likes of Joe Veleno and Maxime Comtois once again when the Drummondville Voltigeurs invade the Scotiabank Centre tonight for Game 4. While Comtois did score late in the game last night to make it interesting, you didn't really notice him or Veleno out there. Despite giving up 30+ shots, Halifax did play a good defensive game and held the regular season goal leading team to just a single goal in Game 3. Alex Gravel played really well to keep the Volts at bay so he'll hopefully back stop them to another win tonight. For the first time in 2018-19, the Herd had a healthy lineup. Benoit-Olivier Groulx, who had the second most points on the club, was back on the ice last night after missing a month with mononucleosis. Should be another good game so come out and cheer on the Memorial Cup hosts as they take on Drummondville.
