It was three goals, including two in 10 seconds, during the second period that allowed the visitors to overcome the opposing team. Philippe Fauchon, Vincent Desjardins and Alexis Bourque hit the target.

Forward Jonathan Fauchon allowed his team to take the lead by scoring his 19th goal of the campaign. The latter is having a very good offensive season with 50 points in 39 games. The 18-year-old's best tally was 31 points in 64 games in 2021-22.

Louis Robin, Vincent Provost and Alexandre Guy provided the reply for the Foreurs.

The Phoenix offensive machine takes care of the Voltigeurs

In Sherbrooke, the Phoenix won a veritable offensive festival by a score of 9 to 5 against the Drummondville Voltigeurs.

The formation of Centre-du-Québec is tough. She came from behind in her last two games against the Quebec Remparts and the Victoriaville Tigres. The Phoenix was the last victim of Eric Bélanger's men.

The Sherbrooke team was hot as it saw two of its advances come to naught. The local favorites finally got the better of the Voltigeurs thanks to Andrew Belchamber, Ethan Gauthier (twice) and Jacob Melanson in the middle of the third period.

While the troop of Stéphane Julien led 5 to 3 in the middle of the second. That lead dwindled after nets from Mikael Diotte, Luke Woodworth and Tristan Roy.

Jérémy Lapointe and Michael Derbidge completed the score among the visitors.

Milo Roelens, Israel Mianscum, Cole Huckins, Kaylen Gauthier and Christophe Rondeau blacked out the scoresheet for the Phoenix.
