Colisee Desjardins (3,420) ~ Victoriaville, QC



Our Halifax Mooseheads begin a three game road trip through the province of Quebec with a visit to Victoriaville to take on the Tigres tonight at 8pm Atlantic. There two teams are pretty evenly matched heading into the game, with both being close to the bottom of the standings. This weekend's road trip is a good time for Halifax to pick up some points as they'll also play 17th overall Gatineau on Sunday. The Herd are still trying to get some chemistry with all the new players and find themselves with a 2-8-0-0 record in their last 10 including loses in two straight. Victoriaville meanwhile is 0-3-1-0 lately and are led by Mikhail Abramov who has 51 points so far this season. Kevin Gursoy has taken over as the Mooseheads leading scorer and has played quite well since joining his new club last month.

This is the meeting between these two teams this season. Last year, Halifax was 1-1-0-0 against the Tigres while Victoriaville had a 1-1-0-0 record versus the Mooseheads. The two clubs met last on January 31 with Halifax coming away with the 7-5 victory on the back of Antoine Morand's 5 point night.

Overall records
Mooseheads: 16-21-2-1 = 35pts (5th in Maritimes division, 16th overall)
