Recap: Océanic Late Magic Stuns Voltigeurs

The Friday before Halloween brought six games of action across the QMJHL, with a ton of spooky spirit in them.

One team that gave their home fans a treat was the Rimouski Océanic, who came from behind to beat the Drummondville Voltigeurs thanks to a late winning goal.

This one started off with the Volts in control, as Renard Poulin scored the only goal in a first period where the road team controlled most of the game, and won the shots battle 14-10.

In the second, Rimouski got back in the game through AJ Schaaf, but a late Yoan Tasse goal gave Drummondville the lead back. Again, the visitors controlled play, holding a 12-6 lead in shots during the middle frame.

It was late in the third when the Océanic found their game. Justin Gagnon scored his second of the season to tie things up with under five minutes to go, and despite once again being outshot, it was Schaaf who found the winner for the hosts with just 55 seconds to go.

Morgan Blackwood stood tall the rest of the way, bumping his total to 39 saves on the night to help his team to a big comeback win.
