TD Station (6,308) ~ Saint John, NB



The last game before the Christmas break for our Halifax Mooseheads goes tonight against the Saint John Sea Dogs on the road. Halifax will look to rebound after a disappointing loss last night while Saint John is coming off a victory over the last place Bathurst Titan. The two clubs are tied in points heading into this evening's match. Saint John has had the Mooseheads number this season winning three of four so far. The Herd will still be without six of their players and another one might've been added to that list as Maxim Trepanier did not come out for the third period last night. I believe the Sea Dogs were expected to do a little better than they currently are but they are tied with the best record in their last 10 games at 8-2-0-0. For the most part as well, the team from the Port City is not getting blown away in games like they were in the first quarter of the season. The defence and goaltending for the Moose will need to be strong if they want to win because the Dogs have more scoring power than we do.

This is the fifth time these two clubs have met this season. Halifax is 1-3-0-0 against the Sea Dogs while Saint John has a 3-1-0-0 versus the Mooseheads. The last matchup was back on November 2nd with the Dogs winning 4-3 in Halifax. Benoit-Olivier Groulx had 3 assists to lead the Herd in the loss. 

Overall records
HAL: 15-14-2-1 = 33pts (4th in Maritimes division, 12th overall)
