Rouyn-Noranda (5) - Val-d'Or (0)

Rimouski (4) - Baie-Comeau (3) (OT)
The battle for the bottom saw the Nics snap a 25-game losing skid to take the last game of their season in overtime, and keep the Drakkar at the bottom.
Mathys Dube was the hero in the extra frame, and his goal officially marked the end of the season for both teams in this game.
Drummondville (2) - Gatineau (3)

The Armada move up into the second seed thanks to their win and Drummondville's loss, but couldn't catch the Huskies for the top spot in the West.
