Les hommes de Daniel Renaud ont amorc\u00e9 les s\u00e9ries \u00e9liminatoires de brillante fa\u00e7on alors qu’ils ont dispos\u00e9 des Huskies de Rouyn-Noranda par la marque de 6-1. De cette mani\u00e8re, ils prennent les devants 1-0 dans cette s\u00e9rie 3 de 5. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Xavier Bourgault, avec un tour du chapeau, Jordan Tourigny et Lou-F\u00e9lix Denis ont fait bouger les cordages. Quant \u00e0 lui, Mavrik Bourque a termin\u00e9 sa soir\u00e9e de travail avec 4 mentions d’aide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Devant le filet des siens, Antoine Coulombe a bien fait repoussant\u00a019 tirs au but auxquels il a fait face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

C’\u00e9tait sans les services de William Veillette que les hommes de Daniel Renaud attaquaient officiellement les s\u00e9ries \u00e9liminatoires 2022 de la LHJMQ. Les partisans r\u00e9unis au Centre Gervais n’eurent pas \u00e0 patienter tr\u00e8s longtemps avant de voir leurs favoris s’inscrire au pointage. D\u00e8s la 3e minute, Lou-F\u00e9lix Denis laissa partir un tir des poignets \u00e0 travers la circulation et celui-ci se fraya un chemin derri\u00e8re Samuel Richard. Sur la s\u00e9quence, Angus Booth et Mavrik Bourque se firent complices sur la s\u00e9quence.<\/p>\n

Puis, 7 minutes plus tard, bien aliment\u00e9 par son capitaine Mavrik Bourque et Jordan Tourigny, Xavier Bourgault inscrivit son premier filet en carri\u00e8re lorsqu’il parvint \u00e0 s’\u00e9chapper et \u00e0 prendre la mesure de Richard avec un tir des poignets vif.<\/p>\n

Visiblement lib\u00e9r\u00e9 de la pression d’inscrire ce premier but en carri\u00e8re dans la LHJMQ, le #98 montra \u00e0 tous qu’il y prenait gout et, 42 secondes plus tard, il se donna suffisamment de temps et d’espace dans l’enclave avant de laisser partir un lancer tout simplement parfait dans la lucarne. Pierrick Dub\u00e9 et Isaac M\u00e9nard r\u00e9colt\u00e8rent des mentions d’aide sur le jeu.<\/p>\n

En toute fin d’engagement, Mavrik Bourque r\u00e9colta sa 3e mention d’aide de la p\u00e9riode lorsqu’il mit la table pour Jordan Tourigny. Sur le jeu, Xavier Bourgault r\u00e9colta \u00e9galement une passe.<\/p>\n

Au deuxi\u00e8me engagement, le capitaine des Cats passa bien pr\u00e8s d’ajouter \u00e0 l’avance des siens mais son tir des poignets frappa le poteau des buts de plein fouet.<\/p>\n

Puis, ce fut au tour du gardien des Cats de se mettre en \u00e9vidence. Alors que les siens se retrouvaient \u00e0 court d’un homme, Antoine Coulombe r\u00e9alisa deux arr\u00eats importants qui mirent un terme aux espoirs des visiteurs.<\/p>\n

Au dernier engagement, Xavier Bourgault profita d’une succulente remise de Lou-F\u00e9lix Denis pour compl\u00e9ter son tour du chapeau gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un tir sur r\u00e9ception d\u00e9vastateur. Puis, ce fut au tour de Pierrick Dub\u00e9 d’ajouter son grain de sel lors d’une sup\u00e9riorit\u00e9 num\u00e9rique. Sur cette s\u00e9quence, Mavrik Bourque ajouta une 4e passe au compteur.<\/p>\n

Alors qu’il ne restait que 16 secondes, Alex Arsenault est venu voler Antoine Coulombe d’un blanchissage lorsque son tir de la pointe le surprit.<\/p>\n

D\u00e8s demain soir, les Cataractes et les Huskies reprendront l’action sur la glace du Centre Gervais Auto \u00e0 l’occasion du match #2 de cette s\u00e9rie 3 de 5. La rencontre d\u00e9butera \u00e0 compter de 19h.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Shawinigan Cataractes general manager Martin Mondou announces the appointment of Daniel Renaud as head coach and Jason Clarke as assistant coach. Pascal Dupuis and Julien Tremblay will also join the staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Renaud will make a comeback with the Cataractes, a team for which he was head coach from 2017 to 2020. He spent the last season with the Val d’Or Foreurs recording a record of 29 wins in 36 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel extremely privileged to come back with the organization that gave me my first chance as a head coach. I will resume work in Shawinigan with a group of owners and players for whom I have a great deal of respect and in whom I believe a lot. ” says Daniel Renaud, back with the team. \u201cFollowing the last season without spectators, I can’t wait to find the best crowd in the QMJHL. These golden supporters will thrill Gervais Auto Center\u00a0once again. \u201d he rejoices.<\/p>\n

“We are very happy with the return of Daniel, a coach who fits exactly in the teaching values that we want to offer to our young players. We have jointly set up a complementary team with specific objectives, including continuing to be an organization recognized for the quality of its development and winning our first President’s Cup. \u00bbSays the general manager of the Shawinigan Cataractes, Martin Mondou.<\/p>\n

An experienced assistant joins the team<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Clarke will take his first steps in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Clarke served as owner, general manager and head coach of the Carletons Place Canadiens in the CCHL for 11 seasons. His team has won the CCHL Season Championship 8 consecutive years (2012-2020) and the playoffs 4 times (2013-2017). Clarke was also the recipient of the 2019-2020 CCHL Coach and General Manager of the Year in addition to being the Head Coach of Team Canada JR.A (East) in 2015-2016 and 2016- 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cJason represents exactly the assistant profile we were looking for. His experience as a coach and general manager, his numerous championships, his passion for the game will undoubtedly be profitable for our players and our organization, “says Martin Mondou.<\/p>\n

Dupuis, Tremblay and Roy in support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pascal Dupuis, meanwhile, will be joining the coaching staff for a number of games and practices in the coming season. Dupuis’s presence in Shawinigan had been very complex because of the Covid-19 and the bubbles last season. The former Pittsburgh Penguins No. 9 will have the chance this year to share his experience and knowledge with the team he has now owned since last season.<\/p>\n

The team also adds Julien Tremblay as a skills coach. The former QMJHL will also take over some video duties, replacing Elliott Mondou who graduated with Team Canada in early July.<\/p>\n

The Cataractes opened up their first weekend of action in Abitibi facing the Huskies, the defending Memorial Cup champions, and the Foreurs. In Rouyn-Noranda, too many turnovers in the defensive zone, especially in the first two periods, cost Daniel Renaud\u2019s team the game. <\/strong>In the end, Shawinigan lost 6-3. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The day after, against the Foreurs, with J\u00e9r\u00e9my Martin back in the lineup, the Cataractes played a solid defensive game and prevailed 2-0. <\/strong>Antoine Coulombe stood tall in front of his net and earned the shutout, the first of his career in the QMJHL. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ponomarev shines in QMJHL debut<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fans and experts were excited to see the CHL debut of Vasily Ponomarev, 4th<\/sup> overall Euro draft last june. And they weren\u2019t disappointed as the young Russian superstar took only 6 minutes to notch his first career goal in the Q. Finishing the game with 7 shots on net, he was without a doubt the best Shawinigan forward on the ice.<\/p>\n

Another rookie managed to score in first career goal, and that\u2019s William Veillette. The L\u00e9vis native tipped a shot from the blue line to beat Zachary \u00c9mond. The young center added an assist to finish the game with two points and a +1 rating.<\/p>\n

It was a much more difficult night for veteran netminder Justin Blanchette who gave up 6 goals on 21 shots. Daniel Renaud chose to switch goaltenders and send Antoine Coulombe in the net to start the third period. He blocked all the shots he faced.<\/p>\n

First career shutout for Coulombe<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cataractes needed to bounce back and young netminder Antoine Coulombe proved to everybody that he was the real deal. Despite having to make big saves in the second and third period, Coulombe made 25 saves to get his first ever shutout in the Q.<\/p>\n

His young teammate Olivier Nadeau, another one who played for the L\u00e9vis Chevaliers in MAAA, scored his first career goal when he jumped on a juicy rebound near Jonathan Lemieux during a first period powerplay.<\/p>\n

Fans had to wait at the end of the game to see another goal in this one. J\u00e9r\u00e9my Martin, in an empty net, sealed the deal for the visitors. But, if it wasn\u2019t for Jonathan Lemieux, the Foreurs\u2019 goalie, Shawinigan\u2019s offense would have gotten way more goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Shawinigan, QC – This Monday, June 4, the QMJHL teams had an appointment to conduct the first ever American selection session in its history. The Cataractes had the second choice overall and the second choice of the second round.<\/p>\n

With his first pick, the organization selected center Jay O’Brien. The one considered the best prospect from the state of Massachusetts at the next NHL draft, is ranked 32nd in the North American skaters by the NHL Central Recruitment. Last year, at the USHS Preparatory, with Thayer Academy, he scored an impressive 80 points in 30 games for the leading scorers on the circuit. “We will offer him a nice alternative to the NCAA and if he decides to play in Shawinigan he will surely become an impact player in this league,” said scout leader Mario Carri\u00e8re. O’Brien will be 19 next season, 5’11 and 175 lbs.<\/p>\n

In the second round, the Cataractes selected 16-year-old defenceman Timothy Lovell. He has collected nearly one point per game with the Boston Advantage U15. Known to be a skilled skater and possessing good puck qualities, he was selected in the fourth round of the USHL draft. “He’s in the same age group as the players selected this weekend. We will leave him to evaluate his options, but we believe he could develop as a very good defender in our circuit “said Carri\u00e8re about his second American choice.<\/p>\n

It’s becoming more and more difficult for the Shawinigan Cataractes to hope for a playoff spot as the team is entering the last stretch down the road toward the playoffs. With 8 games left, Daniel Renaud’s team is now 6 points behind Val D’Or. Here’s a recap of the team’s last 6 games.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sherbrooke 5 \/ Shawinigan 4 OT (February 16th)<\/em><\/p>\n

Twice in that game, Shawinigan came back! Even tough Sherbrooke scored the game’s first three goals, Vasily Glotov, Alex Plamondon and Anthony Imbeault all scored within 3 minutes to square the game at 3! Then, after watching Sherbrooke take the lead once again, Anthony Imbeault scored his second of the game completing a wonderful feed from Jan Drozg in the last minute of the game. Unfortunately, Marek Zachar notched his 20th of the season in overtime to give the visitors the 2 points.<\/p>\n

Baie-Comeau 7 \/ Shawinigan 2 Final (February 17th)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cataractes were all fired up early in the game and J\u00e9r\u00e9my Martin scored his 4th of the season to put the team ahead on the scoreboard. Sadly, it was the only moment of joy for the locals as Baie-Comeau stroke with\u00a07 goals up to the end of the second period. When the third started, there seemed to be no place for a comeback and, in a loosing cause, Anthony Imbeault scored his 7th of the year mid-way into the period.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan 3 \/ Chicoutimi 4 OT (February 20th)<\/em><\/p>\n

Vasily Glotov put on a great show in Jonqui\u00e8re to gave his team a chance to steal one point in a 4-3 loss in overtime. Until the very end, every time Chicoutimi would get one past Fitzpatrick, the Cataractes would come back pressing to tie the game. Speaking of Fitzpatrick, he managed to stop 39 shots despite the loss. In the first period of play, J\u00e9r\u00e9my Manseau pushed a rebound in the net near the end of the first to tie the game at one. On the play, Glotov got his first assist of the game. In the second, it was the captain’s turn to tie the game, again with Glotov’s help! With 5 minutes left to play, Glotov scored a beauty to send everyone in overtime! Unfortunately, Samuel Houde scored his 13th of the season on the first Chicoutimi’s shot in overtime to give the locals the win.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan 3 \/ Baie-Comeau 6 Final (February 21st)<\/em><\/p>\n

Tough start again for Daniel Renaud’s team as they gave up the game’s first three goals. After 10 minutes of play, it was already 3-0 for Baie-Comeau. Before the end of the end of the period, the Glotov show responded again in spectacular fashion with 2 goals. In the second, after seeing Baie-Comeau put two more on the board, Gabriel Denis scored his 10th of the season to cut the lead. Sadly, the comeback would stop there.<\/p>\n

Blainville-Boisbriand 3 \/ Shawinigan 0 Final (February 23rd)<\/em><\/p>\n

The third best team in Canada was in town to face the Cataractes and, if a lot of people were expecting the Armada to put on big numbers, it turned out a little bit differently that what was expected. If Blainville completely dominated the outcome of this game (20-4 the shots after 40 minutes of play), Mathieu Bellemare was outstanding giving up only 3 goals and making numerous spectacular saves for Daniel Renaud’s team.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan 3 \/ Sherbrooke 5 Final (February 25th)<\/em><\/p>\n

Daniel Renaud could count on Vincent Senez’ comeback for this game against the Phoenix. No doubt that the 19 year-old veteran was hungry as he scored twice, added one assist! Unfortunately, ex-Cataractes Mathieu Olivier and Nicolas Poulin had other plans in mind and leaded Sherbrooke with 3 goals in the second and third period to put the game away from Daniel Renaud’s team. Gabriel Denis, with his 11th of the season, was the other player to get one past Reilly Pickard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

After a three game road trip in the Maritimes, the Cataractes are now 4 points out of the final playoff spot. After loosing in Bathurst, Shawinigan came back from a 3 goal deficit to beat Saint-John before loosing the day after against Halifax.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick outstanding despite a 5-2 loss in Acadie-Bathurst<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cataractes took an early lead when Jason Horvath took a hard shot from the blue line. J\u00e9r\u00e9my Manseau jumped on the rebound and earned his 10th of the season.<\/p>\n

Then, within 43 seconds, Bathurst scored twice and took the lead 2-1 before the end of the first period. In the second, while shooting 15 times in the second, Bathurst added two goals to put the team ahead 4-1 heading into the third. The start of the third period wasn’t any good for Daniel Renaud’s team when Bathurst scored on the powerplay to take a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Juste before the end of the game, Leon Denny scored his 6th of the season, on the powerplay, when his slapshot from the blue line beat Joseph Murdaca.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, Lucas Fitzpatrick was outstanding in front of Shawinigan’s net stopping 36 shots.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan comes back in stellar fashion to earn a 8-5 win in Saint-John<\/em><\/p>\n

Mathieu Bellemare earned the start agains the Sea Dogs and the first period was a disaster for Daniel Renaud’s team as they gave up 3 goals within the first 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows what Daniel Renaud told his players during the break, but Gabriel Denis and Alex Plamondon scored within 11 seconds and all of a sudden, the Cataractes were back in the game. Robbie Burt scored in the last moments of the second just before Anthony Imbeault scored his second of the season. After 40 minutes of play, Shawinigan was down 4-3.<\/p>\n

Up to the middle of the third period, Saint-John was still up 4-3. That’s when Simon Dubois, Jason Horvath and Anthony Imbeault scored within 6 minutes to put Shawinigan 6-4. Fans were thinking that the game was already over at this point but Saint-John came back with a goal 3 minutes before the end of the game to make it 6-5. Shawinigan added two more goals (Alex Plamondon and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rik Th\u00e9or\u00eat) to seal the deal 8-5.<\/p>\n

No more fuel in the tank, Shawinigan loses 6-1 in Halifax<\/em><\/p>\n

For their third game in 48 hours, Shawinigan had the tough job to beat Halifax. Everyone could see that Shawinigan didn’t have a lot of energy left in the tank and the Mooseheads took advantage to take a quick 3-0 thanks to Otto Somppi (2) and Jake Ryczek.<\/p>\n

In the second, Shawinigan pushed hard and, despite seeing Halifax adding one more, Anthony Imbeault, on a beautiful feed from Jan Drozg, put Shawinigan on the board. Unfortunately, it would be the only moment of joy for the Cataractes. Halifax scored twice in the third to finally overcome Shawinigan 6-1.<\/p>\n

Again, despite the loss, Lucas Fitzpatrick did a great job stopping 38 shots.<\/p>\n

The Cataractes sure wanted to get the win against a team that scored 8 goals against them the last time they played each other two weeks ago. Unfortunately, Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re was in great shape and completely took charge of this one as the Oc\u00e9anic won 5-2. The young superstar managed to score three times. For Daniel Renaud’s team, Vasily Glotov and Gabriel Denis scored and, in the net, Lucas Fitzpatrick was very impressive making 28 saves despite the loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only player to beat Colten Ellis, who was very alert throughout the game, was Vasily Glotov. The Russian magician scored his team leading 24th of the season in the last seconds of the first after receiving a beautiful pass from Simon Dubois.<\/p>\n

In the second and third period, Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re scored twice to put his team up by two goals. The first goal who came in the second period was particularly impressive as his wrist shot was outstanding!<\/p>\n

Rimouski could have scored another one but Fitzpatrick came out strong making spectacular pad saves to keep his team in the game.<\/p>\n

J\u00e9r\u00e9my Manseau tried to shake things up when he decided to drop the gloves against Wilson Forest, showing a lot of character.<\/p>\n

Before the end of the 3rd, Samuel Dove-McFalls jumped on rebound to put his team ahead by 3 goals. On the play, Lafreni\u00e8re got an assist.<\/p>\n

The young superstar completed his hat trick 40 seconds later.<\/p>\n

Twelve seconds later, Gabriel Denis, who is from Gasp\u00e9sie, scored when he deflected the puck with his arm\u00a0in front of\u00a0his family and friends.<\/p>\n

Daniel Renaud and his players will now play 5 games in 10 days on home ground and it will start this sunday against Moncton.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan\u00a0didn’t manage to earn any point\u00a0during their three game road trip. During that stretch, we saw that the road toward the playoffs would be a tough one. If the game in Rimouski was all about offense, both games in Abitibi (Rouyn-Noranda and Val D’Or) showed a better outcome on the defensive end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rimouski wins a wild one 8-6!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Normally, it takes about 5 hours to drive from Shawinigan to Rimouski. The heavy snowstorm that touched most of the province of Qu\u00e9bec slowed Cataractes’ bus and the team finally arrived in Rimouski around 15h30! Therefore, the game was postponed and started with a 2 hour delay.<\/p>\n

The Cataractes played a good first period despite being down 3-2 after 20 minutes. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rik Th\u00e9or\u00eat and J\u00e9r\u00e9my Martin scored for Daniel Renaud’s team. In the second, Vasily Glotov was the only one to beat Colten Ellis for his team leading 21st of the season. Down 6-3 after 40 minutes, Vincent Senez, Mathieu Boulianne (with his first in the Q) and Antoine Demers got Shawinigan close but unfortunately, the comeback would come to and end and Rimouski would seal the deal in an empty net.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan battles hard but loses 3-2 in Rouyn-Noranda!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the game against Rimouski was all about offense, the one between the Huskies and the Cataractes was much tighter. Also, Daniel Renaud could count on Simon Benoit who was back in the line-up. The tall defenceman was the instigator of the first goal of the game, the only one in the first period, when Jan Drozg completed the play for his 12th of the season.<\/p>\n

The second period of play gave time and space to the Huskies to take control of the game as they scored twice while outshooting Shawinigan 18-9. In the third, at mid-point, Rouyn-Noranda added one more and though that the job was done. Vasily Glotov scored his 22nd with only 3 minutes left in the game. Great performance by Lucas Fitzpatrick who stopped 33 shots despite the loss.<\/p>\n

Shawinigan in control for 53 minutes… but loses in overtime in Val D’Or!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Needless to say that a meeting between the Cataractes and the Foreurs is serious business. The two teams are battling hard to earn the last playoff spot. Shawinigan fans who had made the trip to Rouyn-Noranda and Val D’Or honestly thought that their favorites were going to steal the game. During the first 53 minutes of play, Samuel Blier, Anthony Imbeault and Vasily Glotov, with his 23rd of the campaign showed the way for Shawinigan. But Val D’Or put on an extra boost and scored two times in the third, their second goal coming with only 44 seconds left in the period.<\/p>\n

In overtime, Val D’Or jumped on their first scoring chance and scored with 2 minutes of play when Nathan Hudgin scored his second of the game. Tough loss for the Cataractes who lost a excellent chance to earn important points against the rivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

After putting on one of their worst game of the season, the Shawinigan Cataractes managed to bounce back with two importants wins! They are now within 7 points of the last playoff spot earned by Chicoutimi. But to get those two wins, Daniel Renaud needed to have everyone’s grit. It all started from the 20 year old veteran, Vasily Glotov. The Russian magician scored 3 times and added 1 assist over the last two games! That spectacular performance helped Shawinigan beat Blainville 4-2 and Val D’Or 6-5 in overtime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the rain, the sunshine comes in!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a tough first period on sunday afternoon as the Armada was all over Mathieu Bellemare’s net. Fortunately, only one skater managed to beat Shawinigan’s goaltender. A complete<\/p>\n

In the second, the Cataractes exploded with 3 unanswered goals. First, in the early moments of the period, Antoine Demers placed a wrist shot behind ex-Cataractes Mikhail Denisov to tie the game. Then, on the powerplay, Jan Drozg’s pass deflected off the Blainville defenceman to step over Denisov’s pad. But the best was yet to come! Less than a minute later, at top speed in Blainville’s zone, Vasily Glotov let a wrister go over Denisov’s shoulder to give the visitors a 3-1 lead. Eventually, that goal would be the game winning goal.<\/p>\n

The last period of play saw Leon Denny add one in an empty net juste before Samuel Leblanc puts a little bit of hope in the stands with a goal in the last minute. As the proverb says, it was too little too late!<\/p>\n

For the Cataractes, Mathieu Bellemare was, once again, outstanding stopping 28 shots.<\/p>\n

Final score : 4-2.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ladies and gentlemen, the Glotov show!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Foreurs in town, Shawinigan players had the chance to prove to general manager Martin Mondou that they wanted to take a serious shot at making the playoffs. Val D’Or being only 8 points ahead with 27 games left, it was the perfect timing to rise to the occasion. Beside a slow start and mistakes in the neutral zone, Shawinigan gave the fans a spectacular show.<\/p>\n

Down 1-0 early in the game, Daniel Renaud saw Vasily Glotov show what he is made of in this one! After a beautiful play by Olivier Desroches near the boards in Val D’Or’s zone, he received a perfect pass from the young defenceman and took advantage of time and space to beat Jonathan Lemieux stick side.<\/p>\n

Then, in the second, when the Foreurs were up 3-1, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rik Th\u00e9or\u00eat scored on a Tommy Cardinal penalty to pull Shawinigan within one. 54 seconds later, the crowd was going wild when Vincent Senez completed a play initiated by Antoine Demers et Gabriel Denis.<\/p>\n

But, the Foreurs had other things in mind and got back their 2 goal-lead in the early moments of the third period. You think that would seal the deal? No way! Shawinigan showed a lot of grit and intensity and bounced back, once again, with another 2 goal comeback. First, Antoine Demers jumped on a rebound and scored with a nice spinorama. Then, the star of the night tied the game 52 seconds later with an absolute beauty! The Russian magician wasn’t done yet and executed the greatest piece of action of the night. Late in the third, he got rid of an opponent in the neutral zone before completely outsmart the Foreurs’ defenceman. Then, his wrist shot got past the netminder… but not the crossbar! This close to the hat trick!<\/p>\n

In overtime, both teams had scoring chances but the last one went Shawinigan’s side when J\u00e9r\u00e9my Manseau, who back checked big time just seconds before, set up Jan Drozg perfectly! The Slovenian let a backhand go to give the Cataractes the much needed win! Final score : 6-5.<\/em><\/p>\n

Daniel Renaud and his players will now try to extend their winning streak to 3 when they will face Rimouski on Saturday\u00a0afternoon.<\/b><\/p>\n
