Chicoutimi Saguenéens big shot Yanick Jean became the franchise's most successful head coach in his eighth full season at the helm of the club.

Jean took first place by overtaking Richard Martel with his 252nd victory behind the Saguenean bench, Friday evening, in Shawinigan.

His men offered him this famous victory by winning 6 to 4 against the Cataractes.

However, this victory was marred by the departure of Jérémy Leroux on a stretcher.

In the opening moments of the match, the rookie collapsed on the ice after an accidental collision with a rival.

Jonathan Desrosiers, Thomas Desruisseaux, Fabrice Fortin and Maxim Massé beat young Alexis Cournoyer.

After seeing Natan Éthier put the Mauricie squad in the scoring, Andrei Loshko scored his team's fifth goal. Despite nets from Stéphane Huard Jr., Jérémy D'Astous and Lou-Félix Denis in the final third, Shawinigan was unable to complete the comeback.

Alexis Morin sealed the game by scoring his first goal in the blue and white uniform.
