The Charlottetown Islanders make their visit to "Wildtown" tonight for a Halloween tilt against the Moncton Wildcats at 7:30 p.m.

Charlottetown is riding on a small, but important, two-game win streak and coming a 4-1 win in Halifax on Wednesday. The Wildcats are coming off a 6-5 win in Shawinigan on Sunday.

Both clubs have already met each other this season back on Sept. 28 at the Eastlink Centre. Moncton came out as 5-3 victors. 

A huge blow to the Wildcats last week as captain and leading scorer Chris Lalonde will be out of the lineup four to six weeks with a lower-body injury. Lalonde has 12 goals and 25 points.

Missing for the Islanders are Mitchell Balmas and Samuel Guilbault who are taking part in the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Sarnia and Lambton, Ont. Ross Johnston remains out of the lineup.
