Dumais Adds to Historic Season

17-year-old Jordan Dumais had yet another great game to add to his historic season and he helped the Halifax Mooseheads skate away with a 5-3 victory over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar during the final regular season home game on Saturday. Halifax opened the scoring less than 7 minutes into the game when Elliot Desnoyers chopped the puck into the net which gave Dumais his 100th point of the season. He became just the third 17 year old Moosehead to record 100 points in one season. Baie-Comeau scored at the 15:44 mark to tie the game up with the first period ending 1-1. A late period power play goal by Evan Boucher gave the Herd a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes. A penalty by Mathieu Cataford seconds later carried over to the third period, during which Benjamin Corbeil closed the gap for the Drakkar. The away team once again found themselves even and you could tell that they were fighting for their playoff lives. Dumais scored twice, including an empty net goal, in the final five minutes to give the home team their fifth straight win. April has been a very different month for Halifax than March and it's nice to see. Even though it was fan appreciation day, it didn't really feel like it was other than the team honouring their 20-year-olds in a pre-game ceremony.
