PREVIEW - Our Halifax Mooseheads kick off a four game home-stand tonight as they welcome the Drummondville Voltigeurs with puck dropping at 7 p.m. Both teams will be trying to break their winless streaks. Halifax didn't have a very good road trip last week, losing three of the four games and all were one goal matches. There'll be lots of noise this evening cheering on the Herd to a victory as it is student night at the Scotiabank Centre. Drummondville has also had losses in their last three going 0-2-0-1 but they do have the #2 pick from the 2021 QMJHL draft on their team. Tyler Peddle is fifth in rookie scoring so far this season and hails from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The Mooseheads will be without captain Elliot Desnoyers as he heads out for Team Canada World Junior team selection camp.
