The Halifax Mooseheads play their final home game of the QMJHL season on Saturday at 4 p.m. against the Moncton Wildcats.

It’s an early end to the home schedule for the Mooseheads, who hit the road for the final six games because the Tim Hortons Brier is rolling into the Metro Centre from March 6-14.

The last-place Mooseheads, 13-42-6, need to win their final seven games to make the playoffs, and also must rely on the Lewiston Maineiacs to lose their eight remaining games in regulation.

“We’re not going to quit and we’ll give it our all,” said Mooseheads goaltender Mathieu Corbeil, coming off a 40-save, first-star showing in Wednesday’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Bathurst Titan. “We’re not the most talented team but we come out strong every night.”
