This will be the first time Lawrence has faced his old club since being traded away during the off-season. The 20-year-old, who spent his first four QMJHL seasons with the Sea Dogs, began the year with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada before being dealt to the Halifax Mooseheads.
Lawrence is part of a high powered Mooseheads offense that also features Jordan Dumais, the newly acquired Alexandre Doucet and others. The Sea Dogs will be in tough to contain Halifax tonight and throughout the second half.
