The first-overall Wildcats struck for four third-period goals Thursday night at the Avenir Centre to take down the Charlottetown Islanders 5-2 before 3,600 fans.
Once again, Caleb Desnoyers continued his consistent scoring with two goals to reach 25 for the season. Juraj Pekarcik contributed his 17th and an assist and Maxime Cote potted his 13th and also added one assist. Vincent Collard found the empty net late in the third with his 15th tally of the season.
