The Saguenéens hadn’t tasted a win since February 26. That streak ended without translating into a slowdown, however, thanks to a shootout win over the Val-d’Or Foreurs on Sunday. Despite two defeats in 24 hours against the strong Gatineau Olympiques, the “Sags” were able to collect three out of six possible points at the weekend. In the midst of a race with Rimouski and Moncton for home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs, a few players from the Chicoutimi roster, like Zachary Gravel, stepped out of the shadows. With four games left in their regular season, the Saguenéens (66 points) are fourth in the Eastern Conference.
