PREVIEW - It's the final home regular season game for 2021-22 meaning fan appreciation night. The Halifax Mooseheads will have a pre-game ceremony to honour their 20-year-old players; Zac Beauregard, Zack Jones and David Lafrance. Afterwards, they'll be battling against the Baie-Comeau Drakkar this afternoon. The Drakkar are tied for the final playoff position heading into today's game and will be hoping to upset the Mooseheads who have won four straight. After last night's entertaining game, we could possibly see Beauregard suspended as he received a 5 minute major penalty. It should be another good game for Halifax as they look to put some distance between them and Rimouski for fifth in the Eastern conference. Like I said, Baie-Comeau still has a chance to make the post-season so don't expect them to not play hard.
