On Monday afternoon in the protected environment of the Videotron Centre, Beaucage, who was held off the scoresheet, nonetheless recorded a +1 rating in the Tigres’ 3-2 overtime triumph over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. The win tied the best-of-five Quarter-Final series at one game apiece.

Trailing 2-0 in the first period, his first goal of the postseason would be followed by a pair of assists. Named the third star of the game, the fourth-year veteran also led his club with five hits in the contest.
Beaucage would continue his scoring feats on Thursday night. While he would be named the game’s second star thanks to a goal and an assist, the Armada would get the last laugh, forcing a winner-take-all game five with a 3-2 win.

By the time the game was over, the Colorado Avalanche 2019 draftee had added three assists and the Tigres had earned a convincing 9-3 victory.
