Eagles, Mooseheads Tangle In Final Home And Home Of Season
The weekend has arrived, with it comes a home and home series- and the final two meetings of the season- in the Battle of Nova Scotia. Both the Cape Breton Eagles & Halifax Mooeheads will be looking to rebound after Thursday night losses, each coming with problems that have troubled the team in recent games.
The Eagles did see three previously injured forwards- Lucas Romeo, Rory Pilling, and Caden Kelly- returned to the lineup. Romeo was the lone Eagle to score for a team that has a hard time scoring in recent games.
For Halifax, the problem has been keeping the puck out of the net. Oleg Kulebiakin & Quinn Kennedy each have recorded a point in the last seven games, combining for 27 in total, but Halifax has allowed at least five goals in six of their last eight games.
The Eagles have had success on the mainland this season- while the teams have three wins a piece in the season series, thus far each team has won two on the road.
