Moose win thriller over Armada
-www.halifaxmooseheads.ca

Make it 3 for 3 in dramatic fashion.

The Mooseheads made it a clean sweep on the road this weekend with their 3rd win in as many days, this time 4-3 over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. In dramatic fashion to be sure.

The Mooseheads jumped out to a 2-0 lead after 2 periods after the two teams skated to a scoreless first.  Brent Andrews and Nathan MacKinnon scored the goals to give the Moose a two goal lead.  The Armada scored 3 quick goals in the first 8 minutes of the 3rd to take a 3-2 lead as they rode a wave of momentum generated from a sellout crowd that got louder after each Armada goal.  Then the Mooseheads had one final push. Jonathan Drouin would take a nice feed from Marty Frk in front of the net and went backhand to tie the game with 2:41 to play. Just 29 seconds later, MacKenzie Weegar would punch home a loose puck off the rush to score the eventual game winner quieting the 3,000 plus fans in attendance.  Zach Fucale picked up the win in goal making 26 saves.  The Mooseheads record now stands at 38-4-2-1.

Next up for the Mooseheads is a big homestand versus the Sherbrooke Phoenix on Friday, January 25th and then on Saturday, January 26th when the Quebec Remparts make their highly anticipated visit to the Metro Centre.  For tickets to either game, visit the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, select Superstore Outlets, www.ticketatlantic.com or by phone 451-1221.
