Mooseheads return home up 2-0 after shocking Voltigeurs on the road

After pulling off a pair of upsets over the weekend, the Halifax Mooseheads will host the Drummondville Voltigeurs tonight for Game 3 of their best-of-seven series.

The Mooseheads were in Drummondville for Games 1 and 2 of their first-round playoff series this past weekend, where the Herd picked up not one but two upset victories — defeating the Voltigeurs 3-2 on Friday and then earning a 3-2 shootout win the following night.
