After the teams traded goals to start the first period, two quick Mooseheads goals from 2026 draft eligible Oleg Kulebiakin and overager Connor MacPhearson chased Huskies starter Alexandre Raymond and put the road side up 3-1 heading into the first intermission.
Then, the Huskies fought back with three goals of their own, with Charles Laforest's second career QMJHL goal giving them the lead with just over halfway to go in the third. However, Quinn Kennedy equalized on a Halifax power play, knotting the sides at four apiece, needing overtime to separate them.
There, Antoine St-Laurent's second of the night, both coming on the power play, was the winner, beating Mooseheads goalie Nick Cirka with a clean wrister.
Samuel Beauchemin's three assists helped lead the way for the Huskies, alongside St-Laurent's pair of goals. Alexis Lemire compiled a pair of assists for the hosts, while Buffalo Sabres prospect Samuel Meloche stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced coming in relief of Raymond.
For the visitors, Kulebiakin added an assist to go alongside his goal, while Daniel Walters put up two assists in the loss.
