The Halifax Mooseheads will get top regular-season goal-scorer Ryan Hillier back in the lineup for Game 3 of the QMJHL semifinal against the Gatineau Olympiques.

The 20-year-old winger missed one game with a lower-body injury, a 4-3 double-overtime setback to the Olympiques on Sunday at the Metro Centre. He also missed the overtime period in Saturday's 2-1 loss.

Seldom-used enforcer David Bouchard will likely sit out Game 3 after taking a brutal knee-on-knee hit in Game 2. Mooseheads head coach Cam Russell said Bouchard is "definitely a question mark right now" as far as Game 3 availability.
