Last Saturday was a game to remember for Moose fans, and Friday was a game to forget. 

The Mooseheads we’re handed a convincing 6-1 loss in a game that saw Lower Sackville’s Ben Duffy collect 6 points for the Rocket, including 4 goals.  The bad news wasnt just on the scoreboard for the Moose as they lost rookie Nathan MacKinnon to a shoulder injury in the 2nd period on a questionable hit by Rocket defenceman Jimmy Oligny.  The Moose seemed to get a bit off track following the MacKinnon hit that was followed with a few fights later in the period.  Darcy Ashley broke Rocket goalie Max Lagace shutout bid midway through the 3rd period.  Rookies Zach Fucale and Marc-Olivier Daigle combined to make 21 saves in the loss.

Good news is there is no time to dwell on this loss as the Moose are right back at it tomorrow night in Saint John.  The Herd will be back on home ice Sunday at 3pm against the Sea Dogs as well.  For tickets visit the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, select Superstore Outlets, www.ticketatlantic.com or charge by phone 451-1221.
