The Mooseheads will play host to a familiar foe on Wednesday night at 7pm when the Acadie-Bathurst Titan visit Scotiabank Centre.

The Herd hold a 4-3 record in seven games played this season against their Maritimes Division rivals including a pair of thrilling overtime victories along with a shootout win back on November 12th when Nik Ehlers tallied a hat trick and scored the shootout winner. Former Mooseheads forward Andrew Ryan had two goals and two assists in that game.

The Titan sit at the bottom of the QMJHL standings with 36 points and just 15 wins. Bathurst is the only team in the league that has yet to reach the 20 win plateau and trail 17th place Drummondville by 15 points.

Halifax will try to snap a two-game losing streak and improve on a record of 29-25-4-2.
