Game Day 21: vs. Blainville-Boisbriand


PREVIEW
- Our Halifax Mooseheads are back at it and will welcome the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada this evening as the club hosts 90's night. The Herd for one game will turn into the Halifax Citadels, who were an American Hockey League team from 1988-1993, and will wear throwback jerseys to celebrate the former professional team. Both Halifax and Blainville have the exact same record coming into tonight's match while they each have three players on the Central Scouting's November Players to Watch list so we should be in for a good game. The Armada are coming off a victory on Friday night as well and will be hoping to continue their three game win streak going. Goaltending is the biggest difference between these two clubs as the Mooseheads have Mathis Rousseau and Brady James in the top 10 for save percentage while the Armada's Charles-Edward Gravel is 31st in the league.
