Moncton jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and never looked back. Vincent Collard was the offensive catalyst scoring his 15th goal and setting up four others for a big 5-point night. Captain Yoan Loshing scored twice (18th, 19th) and assisted on 2 others for a 4-point game. Preston Lounsbury added two goals (10th, 11th), and other goals supplied by Julius Sumpf (11th), Olivier Boutin (1st) and Thomas Auger (8th).
