The fourth-year veteran finished the night with a +2 rating.
Back home on Sunday afternoon, Vermette picked up where he left off, scoring the game-winning tally on a shorthanded effort late in the second period and picking up a pair of helpers as the Saguenéens once gain overcame a first period disadvantage to secure a 6-3 triumph over the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
