Olivier LeBlanc
Player to watch: Giovanni Fiore,
the overtime hero on Friday, has three goals and three assists in this series. He had no goals and three assists in five games against Saint John
during the regular season.
Three Things to Know
1. The QMJHL announced yesterday that
Cape Breton’s Phelix Martineau has been suspended until further notice,
presumably for his hit on Bailey Webster in Friday’s game.
2. Michael Joly, who was held pointless
in games three and four, has scored a QMJHL high 10 goals this post-season. His
15 points place him second in playoff scoring.
3. Thomas Chabot has a ridiculous seven
assists in this series so far. He has 12 points this post-season, placing him
third amongst QMJHL defensemen.
