The Mooseheads also had five other players with 20 or more goals to give them an intimidating total of eight - Markus Vidicek , Mathieu Cataford , Evan Boucher , Attilio Biasca and Zachary L'Heureux . Cape Breton captain Ivan Ivan was no slouch, finishing 10th in the Q scoring race with 90 points and Samuel Johnson and Cam Squires joined him in the 30-goal group. Sambro's Jacob Newcombe wasn't far behind with 25 goals and rookie surprise Olivier Boutin found the net 18 times.
The Mooseheads also have the edge on the blue line from an offensive standpoint, with their top two - Jake Furlong and Brady Schultz - outproducing the Eagles' Zach Biggar and Brayden Schmitt . David Moravec also quietly put up 28 points for Halifax and Dylan MacKinnon came on late in the season to finish with 23. It hurts the Mooseheads that veteran power-play quarterback Cam Whynot will miss the series with a broken foot but Owen Phillips and Jack Martin both had strong rookie seasons.
