QMJHL: Olivier Nadeau got 7 points, including 4 goals, for the waterfall

Olivier Nadeau had an impressive game on Saturday with seven points, including four goals, with the Shawinigan Cataracts 8-5 victory over Blanville-Boisbriand Armada.

The selection of the Buffalo Sabers into the fourth round in the Final Draft kicked off what was supposed to be a highly productive game with his eighth goal of the season in the 11th minute of play in the opening period. He returned to charge before the end of the clash when he was a partner in Xavier Bourgault’s goal that took the score to 2-1 Cataractes.

Nadeau made the red light flash on the power game early in the middle of the period. Miguël Tourigny made sure Armada stayed in the match with two goals to his record. He also hit the target with a penalty kick.

But that match was for Nadio, who completed a hat-trick in the third game to break the tie 5-5. He added about the strength of the game after seven minutes, with his fourth goal in the match. He finished his meeting with his seventh point with a decisive pass on Martin Haas’ goal.

Having fun offensively

Thomas Belgaard scored four points to lead Chicoutimi Saguins to a 7-5 victory over the Acadian Bathurst Titan.

The game started well for the Titans, who led 2-1 thanks to goals from Cole Hawkins and Joseph Hennebury. Thomas Belgaard tied with his fourth goal of the season in a strong match.

The Saguenéens were also opportunists in such a situation with three goals in four attempts. Alex Blais and Felix LaFrance were the authors of the other power goals in this game. Belgardi scored his second goal in the empty net.

Keeping Oceanic Blackburn busy

Rimouski Oceanic was able to fight back against Val d’Or Fours to win 4 to 3.

Jacob Mathieu and Mile Saint-Denis opened the scoring in the first half for Ramouski, but that lead melted away before he even retired to the locker room. Cal McCallum and Alexandre Doucet tied the score for the Fours.

Oceanic dominated the game before the end of the second half, courtesy of Alex Drover, with his fifth goal of the season. Xavier Cormier gave his team a two-goal cushion and these nets made the difference. Since midway through the third half, Jérémy Michel made the ropes shake in favor of Val-d’Or.

Despite the four goals allowed, William Blackburn can congratulate himself in front of the Fourors cage with a total of 45 passes. Patrick Hammerla turned 35 of 38 balls against his net.

Mercer wakes up just in time

Riley Mercer was in charge of the penalty shootout for the Drummondville Voltguards that defeated Rowen Noranda Husky 4-3.

The Voltigeurs goalkeeper was perfect in the penalty shootout with his saves against Daniel Borash, Matthew Gagnon and Samuel Johnson. Charlie da Fonseca scored for the Voltigeurs teams.

Mercer finished the match with 27 saves. Samuel Richard did well in goal for Husky with 40 saves.

Roy makes his presence felt

Canadian prospect Joshua Roy scored a goal and assist in the 5-2 win by the Sherbrooke Phoenix over the Quebec Rimparts.

Roy was a partner in the first goal of meeting his colleague Julian Antiktel. The latter scored his second goal in the second half to advance Phoenix 3-1. Roy locked the books into an empty net with his seventh goal in his campaign.

Yisrael Mianscom and Ethan Gauthier also scored in Phoenix’s victory.

Labelle finished the match

Vincent Labelle secured a 4-3 victory for the Moncton Wildcats with his goal in overtime. Hit the target in 22 seconds of overtime to stop the islanders returning.

After trailing 3-1 in the third period, the islanders didn’t give up. Jakob Brabinic finished the lead with one goal less than seven minutes from the end of the match.

With just over 90 seconds left at the start, Xavier Simoneau made sure to send both teams into overtime with his sixth goal of the season.

LaBelle defeated Jacob Jobe who gave up four times in 25 rounds in this meeting.
