Teddy Mutryn’s OT winner tames Tigres
The Wildcats opened the latest Quebec 3-game road swing in dramatic fashion Friday night in Victoriaville with a 3-2 overtime victory before 2,200 fans at Colisée Desjardins.
Ted Mutryn broke in across the blue line and beat Gabriel D’Aigle just 15 seconds into extra time to give Moncton (15-6-2-0) it’s 15th win of the season.
The Cats trailed most of the night despite a heavy barrage at D’Aigle. Alex Mercier scored the first Cats goal and Caleb Desnoyers tied it with 3:35 remaining in the third.
Defenseman Tommy Bleyl again played a huge role, assisting on all three goals. Jacoby Weiner won his 2nd of the season with 23 saves.
