Hot off of an undefeated week, the Chicoutimi Saguenéens will look to continue their strong play as they take on the Memorial Cup hosts Rimouski Océanic, who are 10-5-1 this season.
NHL draft re-entry candidate left winger Emmanuel Vermette leads the team with 23 points (11+12) across 17 games. The team's core also features other NHL draft candidates, including defenseman Alex Huang (8 in 17), left winger Emile Guite (8 in 16) and centerman Nathan Lecompte (13 in 17). Meanwhile, goaltender Raphael Precourt will look to continue his four game win streak where he's stopped 99/106 for a .934 save percentage across those games.
Meanwhile, Rimouski's top player is Vegas Golden Knights prospect right winger Mathieu Cataford, with 25 points (8+17) over 14 games. Not too far behind him are Ducks center prospect Alexandre Blais (19 in 14) and Flyers defenseman Spencer Gill (8 in 13), who is looking to get his first goal of the season.
