Recap: Alexis Joseph Stars In QMJHL Top Prospects Game As Team Lafleur Dominates Team Crosby

Wednesday night saw the second edition of the QMJHL prospects game, featuring some of the best NHL draft-eligible prospects from across the league.

This year's edition was very one-sided affair, with Team Lafleur coming out with a 7-2 victory thanks to a strong showing from Alexis Joseph, Zack Arsenault and others.

It was of course Joseph who got the scoring going in the first, scoring one on the power play. Just four minute later, it was Zack Arsenault who would double the lead for Team Lafleur, and that score would stand through the first intermission.

In the second, Joseph was at it again, scoring his second of the evening to make the score 3-0. Team Crosby would get one back through Alexey Vlasov sliding a nice goal through on a breakaway. 

Arsenault would double down himself to restore the three-goal lead for the Lafleurs, and that 4-1 score would stand as the teams headed in for the second intermission.

Phenwick MacLean would make it five early in the third, before Frederic Bergeron extended it to 6-1. Arsenault would add a seventh with his hat-trick goal, before Team Crosby got one back through Derik Morin.

That would be it for the scoring in a one-sided, but offensive and fun prospects game. Joseph took home the player of the game award for Team Lafleur thanks to his three (2+1) point showing, while Vlasov's goal earned him player of the game for Team Crosby.

With over 160 NHL scouts in the audience, this event was yet again another major success in getting some of the league's top talent in one place, and one game.
