Eagles Look to Extend Winning Streak Tonight in Halifax

October 19, 2024 - Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Cape Breton Eagles News Release


The Cape Breton Eagles will look to extend a winning streak to four games as they take on the Halifax Mooseheads tonight in the provincial capital.

The Mooseheads topped the Eagles in Cape Breton's home opener on September 27th, but the Eagles are hopeful they are a different team since that night. The Eagles are coming off a 3-0 road trip with many impressive performances. Tomas Lavoie has been electrifying since returning from Utah training camp, notching 11 points in six games. Nashville prospect Jakub Milota went 3-0 on the road trip in goal, while Cole Burbidge reeled off a five point night in last Saturday's win over Val-d'Or. Newcomer Joey Henneberry had a monster road trip- scoring a hat trick in his debut, scoring in a shootout against Rouyn-Noranda and then notching two assists against Val-d'Or.

For Halfiax, off-season acquisition Shawn Carrier has had the offensive breakthrough they were looking for, with 12 points in ten games. In goal, Mathis Rousseau has been one of the busiest goaltenders in the league, playing in eight of Halifax's games while posting a 5-3 victory with an impressive .923 save percentage.
