The Halifax Mooseheads attempt at getting 4 points in Bathurst didn't go well on Saturday evening as the team lost 3-2 to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. Halifax found themselves down 2-0 after the first period with Riley Kidney and Jacob Melanson both scoring their 8th goal of the season late in the frame for the home team. Bathurst clearly carried over their momentum from last night's third period into today and picked up the victory after losing Friday 3-1. Rookie Mathieu Cataford scored his 4th of the year in the second while Elliot Desnoyers tied the game up about halfway through the third period on the power play. The score didn't stay tied for long as 3 minutes later, Kidney gave the Titan the lead which ended up being the game winner. This was the second of three straight games that will be against Acadie-Bathurst for our Mooseheads.
