Moncton moved to 52 wins this season and 106 points, sharing that victory total with the 2005-2006 Wildcats.
The Cats play their last regular season game Saturday at 4pm in Bathurst against the Titan. It's the final regular season home game in Titan franchise history, as the team is relocating to St. John's to become the Newfoundland Regiment this Fall.
The first-round of the QMJHL Gilles-Courteau Trophy Playoffs opens next weekend against the Quebec Remparts on Friday and Saturday nights at the Avenir Centre.
