Mooseheads down Oceanic with overtime win
The Halifax Mooseheads took to the road on Wednesday night, looking to build on Sunday’s win in Saint John.

Just 1:51 into the second frame, the Mooseheads would tie the contest after Caylen Blake beat Mathis Langevin, Liam Kilfoil and Owen Phillips with assists on the goal. 10 minutes later, the Herd would take advantage of a power play when Antoine Fontaine found the back of the net to make the score 2-1.
