Val D'Or Steals a 3-2 Victory from Juniors
The Juniors were hoping to sweep the back-to-back series against Val D’Or but the Foreurs got their revenge as they topped the Juniors 3 to 2 at the Verdun Auditorium. It was Foreurs forward Alexandre Quesnel who was the difference in the game with two goals in the third period, including the game-winner.
The Foreurs scored on their first shot on goal as defenseman Simon Lacroix pinched in, took a beautiful saucer pass from Jonathan Hazen, and fired home his ninth of the year past Montreal netminder Jean-Francois Bérubé.
The Juniors retaliated in the second with Jeremy Gouchie tying the game up on a great individual effort made by Nicolas Chouinard, who powered his way through several Foreurs and fed puck to Gouchie at 3:33 of the second. Defenseman David Stich gave Montreal the lead on the power play when he slapped one home from the point before the end of the period.
And in the third, Val-d’Or got two quick goals from Quesnel as he gave the Foreurs the lead and eventual the victory.
The Juniors record currently stands at 25-24-2-3 with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies up next at home on Sunday, at 16:05. The Chicoutimi Sagueneens will visit Montreal on Wednesday at 19:35 and the Victoriaville Tigers will be in town Friday, at 19:35 before the Juniors head back out on the road.
