Memorial Cup Update: Halifax Draws First Blood

Last night was a game worthy of Main Event status, as the two best teams with the potential top three picks in this year's Draft took place.  A lopsided second period was all it took for the Halifax Mooseheads to defeat the Portland Winterhawks 7-4.  Nathan MacKinnon certainly made his case for the top overall pick, netting a hat trick in the five-goal second period for the Mooseheads.  Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones, the other candidates for that first overall pick, also scored a goal a piece in the game.  Halifax plays tonight against Saskatoon while Portland will look to rebound against London on Monday.
