Daigle’s Overtime Winner Lifts Val-d’Or to 6‑5 Victory Over Rouyn-Noranda in QMJHL

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec (Interstat) — Xavier Daigle completed a hat trick 33 seconds into overtime, giving the Val-d’Or Foreurs a 6-5 win over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game Friday night at Aréna Glencore.

The Foreurs, who led 2-0 early, never trailed but needed the extra period after the Huskies erased a two-goal deficit with two third-period goals to force overtime. Nathan Brisson scored twice for Val-d’Or, and Jérémy Leroux added three assists.

Nathan Langlois had two assists for the Huskies, who saw a three-game winning streak snapped before a crowd of 1,984. Val-d’Or improved to 17-21, while Rouyn-Noranda fell to 22-15. The teams meet again next Friday in Val-d’Or.
