Quebec at Shawinigan

SHAWINIGAN, Quebec (Interstat) — The Shawinigan Cataractes and Quebec Remparts, two teams seeking consistency, will face off Saturday at Centre Bionest in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League matchup.

Both clubs enter the contest with 4-6-0 and 4-4-0 records, respectively, looking to build momentum. The Cataractes are returning home after a high-scoring 8-5 loss to Blainville-Boisbriand on Sunday. In that game, defenseman Jordan Tourigny and forward Félix Lacerte each recorded a goal and an assist.

The Remparts aim to halt a four-game losing skid, most recently a 6-2 home defeat to Chicoutimi last Saturday. Defenseman Cal Uens scored both goals for Quebec in the loss.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Shawinigan is projected to win 4-1. The Cataractes have shown offensive firepower at home this season, including a 7-3 victory over Gatineau on Oct. 10.

Quebec will look to goalie Louis-Antoine Denault, who made 28 saves in the loss to Chicoutimi, to help steady the team. The Remparts began the season with two overtime wins but have since struggled, being outscored 17-5 during their current losing streak.

Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m. EDT.
