Mooseheads fall to Titan in overtime

The Mooseheads were back in action Sunday afternoon as they journeyed to Acadie-Bathurst to take on the Titan.

The Herd entered the contest looking to snap their 10-game losing streak against the Titan dating back to last season.

It took until the back half of the second period for the first goal, as Maddex Marmulak ripped a pass to Liam Arsenault, who buried it into the Mooseheads net past Mathis Rousseau to give the Titan the lead with five minutes left in the period.

Lou Levesque tied the game for the Herd with 3:54 left in regulation. The puck was loose in front of the net, and after multiple chances, Levesque was able to force the puck past the Bathurst goaltender.

It took overtime to break the deadlock between the conference rivals, and 2:45 into the overtime period, Dawson Sharkey put the game away for Bathurst. Thus, the Mooseheads’ losing streak against the Titan increased to 11 games with the 2-1 loss.

With the loss, the Herd’s record fell to 10-14-5 while the Titan improved to 18-11-0.

Bathurst goaltender Joshua Fleming received 1st star honours for his 35 saves in the win, 2nd star went to Liam Arsenault, and 3rd star was awarded to Mathis Rousseau for 23 saves in the losing effort.
