The former Saint John Sea Dogs forward helped the Halifax Mooseheads advance to the President Cup final on Sunday at Scotiabank Centre, defeating the Drummondville Voltigeurs in six games with a 2-1 overtime victory.
Safin, who appeared in just 15 regular season games due to an injury, has had a fairly quiet post-season, registering two assists in 17 games. He's become more of a depth player on a deep and experienced Mooseheads squad.
The Moose dropped the first game of the semifinal series in Drummondville but rebounded with a 5-4 double overtime victory. That was the first of three straight wins for the Moose. After dropping Game 5 at the Marcel Dionne Centre, Halifax returned home to win a hard fought Game Six in extra time.
With the Volts being eliminated, Joe Veleno's season came to an end. After a tremendous 104-point regular season (in just 59 games), Veleno followed that up with an eight-goal and nine assist post-season. The former Sea Dogs captain was held pointless in the first three games of the semis but went on to record two goals and three assists in final trio of contests.
The Mooseheads will meet the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the league final. The series begins on Thursday in Quebec. With Halifax hosting the Memorial Cup, both teams have already earned a spot in the tournament.
This will be the third straight year a Maritimes Division team appears in the President Cup Final following Bathurst last year and Saint John the year prior.
Good day !!
