The Océanic ended a five-game losing streak with a fine 3-0 win over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies on Sunday. Thanks to this win, Serge Beausoleil’s men take third place in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens and two ahead of the Moncton Wildcats, their next two opponents. This week’s games will therefore be of paramount importance in ensuring the ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. This applies to the holders of the third and fourth positions. The Océanic need a wake-up call from their attack, which has only scored nine goals in six games.

what they said
“The boys have responded well. I liked the way we played and Hamrla was hot as hell. We had good chances, but so did they. Our goalkeeper gave us a very good chance of winning. »
– Serge Beausoleil after Sunday’s 3-0 win
“We wanted to get back together today. Patrick did very well. After the game I told him that he did very well in Sherbrooke on Friday, but maybe we let him down a bit. We recovered well today. »
