Eagles Finish Road Weekend with Visit to Wildcats
November 30, 2024 - Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Cape Breton Eagles News Release
The Cape Breton Eagles are looking to post a winning record on their Maritime road trip as they visit the Moncton Wildcats this afternoon.
It's the first visit to Moncton this season for the Eagles, and it wraps up a three game swing that saw the Eagles split a two game set in Bathurst. Cam Squires was the hero in Saturday's victory, notching a shorthanded & empty net goal along with an assist for a three point night. Brandon Lavoie shone in goal, stopping 32 of 34 shots.
Today's opposition is a star studded Moncton team who was pushed Saturday night by last place Gatineau, with the Wildcats winning 4-3 in overtime. Moncton sits atop the Eastern Conference in part due to a plethora of NHL drafted talent- forwards Juraj Pekarcik (St. Louis), Gabe Smith (Utah), along with defensemen Dylan MacKinnon (Nashville) & Etienne Morin (Calgary) and projected 2025 NHL first rounder Caleb Desnoyers.
