Gabriel Desjardins came to play in a big way Friday night at the Metro Centre.  The 4th year Mooseheads forward recorded a natural hat trick and drew a key penalty to secure a 5-3 Mooseheads win over the always-tough Gatineau Olympiques.

The Herd jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 2 periods on Desjardins hat trick only to have the Olympiques tie it up at 3 six minutes into the 3rd period.  Andrew Ryan would score the winner with 8 minutes to play, while Matt Boudreau would add an insurance marker on the powerplay.  The Moose received the powerplay after Desjardins drove the net with 3 minutes to play causing a Olympiques player to haul him down. Rookie Zach Fucale was again solid when called upon making 19 saves for the victory.

With the win the Mooseheads improve to 18-7-1-2 on the season. The Herd host the Quebec Remparts in a rubber match for the season series.  To see Patrick Roy's Remparts led by potential 1st overall NHL pick Mikhail Grigorenko take on your Halifax Mooseheads, visit the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, select Superstore Outlets, www.ticketatlantic.com or charge by phone 451-1221.
