Maxime Clermont made 21 saves in net as the Olympiques shutout the Quebec Remparts 4-0 in Game Six of their semifinal series on Sunday night at Robert Guertin Arena. The best-of-seven final is now tied at 3-3 heading into Tuesday’s Game Seven at Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City.
The Olympiques led 2-0 after one period and 4-0 after two.
In the opening frame, Philip-Michael Devos scored at 6:25 on a power play followed by Christian Ouellet at the 17:30 mark to make it 2-0 ‘Piques after 20 minutes. Shots in the first stanza were 11-6 Gatineau.
Things didn’t get much better for the Remparts in the second period. Nicolas Deslauriers made it a 3-0 game at 2:31 and then Ouellet scored his second of the night at 4:27 on a man advantage. Shots in the middle frame were 12-6 in favour of the home side.
Quebec would outshoot Gatineau in the third period, 9-5, but couldn’t find the scoreboard.
The Olympiques went 2/5 on the power play while the Remparts went 0/4.
The Remparts led this series 3-1 entering Game Five on Friday but have failed to advance on two occasions. They nearly blew a 3-1 series lead in their quarter-finals series against the Shawinigan Cataractes but managed to win Game Seven.
The winner of this series won’t have much time to rest for the President’s Cup final. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final begins Thursday night in Saint John. Game Seven of this series will be on Tuesday.
