Blake, Phillips lift Mooseheads to shootout win over Cataractes

The Halifax Mooseheads were back in action Thursday night as they hosted the Shawinigan Cataractes in a goalie duel at Scotiabank Centre.

Shawinigan opened the scoring in the second period when Vince Elie took a pass from Félix Lacerte and fired a shot past the blocker of Owen Bresson.

It appeared the Cataractes had extended their lead to two when Cole Chandler forced a turnover and fed Dylan Laframboise, who found the back of the Mooseheads net. After a short review, the goal was called back for offside.

Caylen Blake tied the game for Halifax at 11:12 of the third period. Jasu Mensonen made the initial play, firing a puck that was blocked by a Shawinigan defender, before Blake recovered the loose puck and snapped it past Mathys Fernandez for his 10th of the season to force overtime.

After a scoreless extra frame, a nine‑round shootout was needed as the teams traded goals. Captain Owen Phillips was the hero for Halifax, beating Fernandez and securing the win.
