The Voltigeurs will face the Baie-Comeau Drakkar in the championship series. The Drakkar secured their spot on Thursday with a Game 5 overtime win over the Cape Breton Eagles.
Drummondville advancing means one former Saint John Sea Dog still has a shot at the Gilles Courteau Trophy. Forward Noah Reinhart has five goals and six assists in 15 playoff games with the Volts.
The Drakkar will have home ice advantage in the series after finishing first in the regular season standings with a 53-12-2-1 record for 109 points. The Voltigeurs were second with a 48-14-5-1 record for 102 points.
Baie-Comeau has lost just one game this post-season and are 7-0 at home. Drummondville, meanwhile, is 12-3.
This is the Drakkar's first trip to the league final since 2014 and will be looking for their first championship. For the Voltigeurs, this is their first time in the league final since winning in 2009.
The winner of this series will represent the QMJHL at the 2024 Memorial Cup in Saginaw.
No other league final has been locked in yet in the CHL. In the OHL, the London Knights lead the Saginaw Spirit 3-2 while the Oshawa Generals lead the North Bay Battalion 3-2. In the WHL, the Portland Winterhawks lead the Prince George Cougars 3-2 while the Saskatoon Blades lead the Moose Jaw Warriors 3-2.
