BOISBRIAND, QC - The Newfoundland Regiment snatched game one of their first round series versus the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada with an impressive 4-1 road win on Thursday night at the Centre d'Excellence Sports Rousseau.
Louis-François Bélanger opened the scoring in the first two minutes of the game as he made no mistake on an early breakaway to put Newfoundland ahead 1-0.
After Vincent Desjardins responded less than minute later for Blainville, Ben Veitch resorted the Regiment advantage moments later with a deft deflection to put the visitors up 2-1 after 20 minutes.
Newfoundland outshot Blainville 17-6 in the opening period and that trend continued in the middle frame as they doubled the Armada's efforts on goal in the 2nd. Leading 33-14 in that department, the visitors took a 2-1 lead into the second intermission.
Dominic Pilote gave the Regiment some insurance with a breakaway tally midway through the third before captain Justin Larose put the game to bed thanks to a late powerplay snipe to make it a 4-1 final in favour of the visitors.
Louis-Antoine Denault made 21 saves in net for Newfoundland to help secure a crucial road win to open the series.
Game Two between these teams is right back here tomorrow night with puckdrop once again set for 8:30pm NL time. Tickets for Games 3,4 & 5 on the rock are on sale now online at tickets.nlregiment.com or during box office hours at the Mary Brown's Centre.
