Voltigeurs School Juniors in 6-2 Win
All good things come to an end as did the Montreal Juniors’ 2 game winning streak. The abrupt halt to this string against the division leading Gatineau Olympiques and Quebec Remparts was created by the number One team in the QMJHL, the Drummondville Voltigeurs. The visitors to the Verdun Auditorium skated away with a 6-2 victory
The Juniors only managed 18 shots on goal to Drummondville’s 41, including a 19-4 differential in the second period.
Montreal gave the Voltigeurs 2 goals on 6 power-play chances while the home team actually went 1 for three on their opportunities; however it was a net domination from a top tier team to a middle of the pack troop that still appears to be searching for its identity.
