T-Birds Need Win as Playoff Picture Tightens

Halifax heads home tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. with everything on the line. The Thunderbirds have won just four of their last ten and sit fifth in the East at 7-10, but here's the wrinkle: Ottawa has never beaten Halifax in franchise history. Clarke Petterson's 86 points this season could define a must-have night at Scotiabank Centre. The road record sits at 2-6, yet the Birds are 5-4 at home. One goal separated them from Georgia and Toronto in recent losses. A win cushions the cushion. A loss? The math gets uncomfortable fast.
