Drummondville at Rouyn-Noranda
ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec (Interstat) — The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (7-5-0) will host the Drummondville Voltigeurs (5-5-0) in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League matchup Friday at Aréna Glencore.
The Huskies enter the contest with momentum, having won their last two games on the road. They defeated the Gatineau Olympiques 3-2 on Sunday, led by forward Eliot Ogonowski, who recorded a goal and an assist. The victory followed a 3-1 win over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada on Saturday.
The Voltigeurs are looking to build on a 4-1 home victory over the Cape Breton Eagles this past Sunday. Forward Renaud Poulin led the charge with a goal, while defenseman Matteo Rotondi added an assist. The win snapped a two-game skid for Drummondville, which includes an 8-2 loss to Blainville-Boisbriand on Oct. 17.
Rouyn-Noranda holds a two-point edge in the standings over the .500 Voltigeurs. The Huskies have been strong on home ice this season, posting a 4-2-0 record at Aréna Glencore.
This is the first of two scheduled meetings between the clubs this season. They are set to meet again in Drummondville on Nov. 21.
