Centre Georges Vezina (3,683) ~ Chicoutimi, QC



Another Friday night hockey game is among us. This will be the biggest test for our Halifax Mooseheads so far this season as they travel to Chicoutimi to take on the 2nd ranked Sagueneens tonight with the puck dropping at 8:30pm Atlantic time. Halifax has won two straight games after having a rough start to the year and will be hoping to continue their good fortunes this evening on the road. J.J. Daigneault put the line of BO Groulx, Maxim Trepanier and Raphael Lavoie together for the first time on Wednesday after Groulx was returned to the team and it seemed to work well as the 3 players each scored during the match. Chicoutimi has begun 2019-20 without a regulation defeat in four games and have been ranked second in the CHL's Top 10 rankings since the beginning. They seem to be winning by collection as their two leading scorers have 4 points each but almost every one on the team has at least one point. Will the Mooseheads be able to give the Sagueneens their first regulation loss?

This is the first game between these two teams this season. Halifax was 1-1-0-0 against the Sagueneens last year while Chicoutimi had a 1-0-1-0 record versus the Mooseheads. The two clubs met January 27th with Samuel Asselin scoring the lone goal in a 2-1 home loss while Alex Gravel made 20 saves. 

Overall records
Sagueneens: 3-0-1-0 = 7pts (2nd in East division, 6th overall)
Mooseheads: 2-3-0-0 = 4pts (4th in Maritimes division, 12th overall)

Leading scorers
HAL: Raphael Lavoie 6pts (2G & 4A), Maxim Trepanier 4pts (1G & 3A), Zack Jones 3pts (3G)
CHI: Samuel Houde 4pts (2G & 2A), Hendrix Lapierre 4pts (4A), Louis Crevier 3pts (3G)
