Wildcats defend the Den against the Regiment Saturday afternoon
If it seems like we’ve seen a lot of the Regiment lately, its because we have! The Newfoundland squad are back again — Saturday at 4pm — for their 3rd visit since DEC 17 and Cats forward Gabe Smith is probably the most excited. Smith has 7 points in the 2 latest meetings — a 5-point (2G, 3A) night and a 2-goal performance. Both helped the Cats come back and earn late victories over the Regiment.
The Wildcats (27-7-2-1) are tied with Chicoutimi for 1st overall and come into Saturday night on a roll, losing just once in their last 12 games. They feature many offensive weapons and it’s been scoring by committee with 7 Wildcats above the 30-point mark. Rookie defenceman Tommy Bleyl is leading the way — tied for 10th overall in Q points with 45 (7G, 38A).
QMJHL Goalie of the Month Rudy Guimond continues to lead the league in wins (23), GAA (2.31) & save percentage (.924). Rookie Jacoby Weiner is coming off his 1st QMJHL shutout.
The Regiment (20-15-1-1, 4th Eastern Conf.) are 6-4 in their last 10 and come to Moncton on a 3-game winning streak. Justin Larose is their leading scorer with 24 goals & 33 assist for 57 points — 2nd overall in the QMJHL.
New goalie Louis-Antoine Denault has won 3 of 4 since joining the Regiment — his lone loss to the Wildcats on DEC 30.
