The Huskies got on the board first when Steven Delisle scored at 6:32 of the first period, but the Juniors took the lead shortly thereafter as they got two power play goals from Louis-Marc Aubry and Jeremy Gouchie. Huskies’ forward Jordan Caron tied it all up for Rouyn-Noranda before heading to the second period.
In the second period, the Juniors would take the lead again as Gouchie scored his second of the night at but in a back and forth affair that this game was, Jerome Gauthier-Leduc countered for the Huskies on the power play at 10:07. the teams would head off the ice at the end of the second tied at 3.
But in the third, it was Huskies forward Sergey Ostapchuk fired the puck past Montreal Goalie Jean-Francois Bérubé for his eighteenth of the year and eventual game winner at 17:09.
The Juniors are now at 25-25-2-3 and have 3 more home games before they head back out on the road, as the regular season begins to draw to a close.
