Halifax Picks Up Big Thursday Night Win

Our Halifax Mooseheads took two of the three games this week that they had against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan as they skated to a 6-4 victory on Thursday night. The game started out a little slowly and despite being outshot 18-9 in the first period, Bathurst had a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Enfield, NS native Riley Kidney scored the first goal of the game short-handed before Bennett MacArthur gave the Titan a 2-0 lead. With 39 seconds remaining in the period, Senna Peeters picked up his second of the season. The middle frame was a lot more exciting with five goals ending in a 4-4 tie after 40 minutes. The Titan scored on the power play early in the period to push their lead to 3-1 but 41 seconds later Robert Orr got on the board for Halifax to close the gap to one. Some net crashing led to Zachary Beauregard roofing a rebound for his first of the season to tie the game up at 3. Orr picked up another one in the third period that ended up being the game winning goal. Captain Elliot Desnoyers sealed the win with an empty net marker with under a minute left in regulation.
