Bolduc is the fourth QMJHL player to have scored at least 50 goals since the start of the season. The Halifax Mooseheads’ Alexandre Doucet (57) and Jordan Dumais (54) and the Gatineau Olympiques’ Alexis Gendron were the top three.

Prior to the Blues hope, Anthony Duclair became the last representative of the Red Devils to stop opposition goalkeepers 50 times.
Bolduc used a return from goalkeeper Patrik Hamrla during a power play in the second period to thread the needle against his old side. Earlier, his captain Théo Rochette had scored the opener with a lively shot when there was just over 13 minutes to play in the first encounter.
The Remparts are aiming for a 52nd win this season, which would match the team’s mark from 2005-2006, the season in which the franchise won the Memorial Cup.
But most importantly, they secured first place overall in the QMJHL thanks to the Mooseheads’ 2-1 loss to the Cape Breton Eagles earlier in the evening.
