Rouyn-Noranda bounced Halifax 4-2 at Scotiabank Centre on Saturday night, with the Huskies' depth scoring proving too much for the Moose to handle. Halifax managed 24 shots and stayed competitive through two periods, but Rouyn-Noranda pulled away in the third. The loss extends the Mooseheads' skid to 0-2-1 in their last three and drops them to 23-24-3 with 51 points in 52 games. The defeat stings timing-wise: Halifax heads to Gatineau tomorrow to start a three-game-in-four-days Quebec swing through the bottom half of the standings. At 23-24-3, they need 2-1 or better against Gatineau (4-game losing streak), Drummondville (1st in West), and Rimouski (13-game losing streak) to stay within reach of a playoff spot.
