Rouyn-Noranda at Val-d’Or

VAL-D’OR, Quebec (Interstat) — The Val-d’Or Foreurs, still seeking their first win, will host the rival Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League matchup on Sunday at Centre Agnico Eagle.

The Foreurs (0-2-0) are coming off a 5-2 home loss to the Quebec Remparts on Saturday. They were shut out 7-0 by Blainville-Boisbriand in their home opener on Sept. 20.

The Huskies (2-1-0) arrive after a 3-2 overtime loss to Quebec on Friday. Rouyn-Noranda’s top line of Benjamin Brunelle, Thomas Verdon and Eliot Ogonowski combined for two goals and an assist in the defeat.

Despite the records, Interstat’s ELO system gives Val-d’Or a slight edge with a 52.9% probability to win. The teams will meet again in Rouyn-Noranda on Oct. 3.
