Drummondville at Val-d’Or

VAL-D’OR, Quebec (Interstat) — The Val-d’Or Foreurs will look to continue their recent dominance over the Drummondville Voltigeurs when the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff series shifts to Centre Agnico Eagle on Tuesday night.

The Foreurs, who finished the regular season with a 28-38 record, seized home-ice advantage by winning the first two games of the best-of-seven series on the road. They defeated the Voltigeurs 6-3 on Friday and 4-2 on Saturday. Drummondville, which posted a 39-27 regular-season mark, now faces a critical Game 3 on the road.

Val-d’Or forward Louis-Charles Plourde has been the series’ standout performer. He recorded a goal and an assist in the Game 1 victory, then followed with two goals and an assist in Game 2, driving the Foreurs’ offense.

Drummondville will rely on center Maxime-Olivier Drolet to spark a turnaround. Drolet has scored a goal in each of the first two playoff games and has been a consistent offensive threat, registering a point in four of his last five contests dating to the regular season.

The Voltigeurs must solve Val-d’Or goaltender Émile Beaunoyer, who stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday’s win. Historically, the road team has had success in this matchup; the visiting side won four of the six regular-season meetings.

Tuesday’s game is scheduled for 7 p.m. EDT. The series will resume in Val-d’Or for Game 4 on Wednesday.
