Eagles Look For Revenge In Rematch Against Moncton
February 1, 2025 - Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Cape Breton Eagles News Release
The Cape Breton Eagles begin will look to erase the end of January and start February on a winning note in tonight's rematch against the Moncton Wildcats.
It's game two of a three game set between the two longtime rivals- Moncton struck first with a 6-3 victory in Sydney on Thursday night. Markus Vidicek, who was announced as the Wildcats captain earlier in the day, impressed in his first game with the "C" by notching a hat trick. Gabe Smith also helped pace the Moncton attack with a two-goal effort.
Joey Henneberry, Andrew Brown and Jacob Newcombe were the goal scorers in the loss on Thursday. The Eagles have been hoping to get healthy since their return from the Quebec road trip, and Ales Zielinski came back to the lineup in the game against Moncton (although his status for this evening is unknown.) The Eagles will next hope to regain the services of forward Cole Burbidge (31 points in 42 games) and goaltender Jakub Milota (3.04 GAA and 908 save percentage) with games against Moncton this evening and Thursday.
