Moncton Wildcats News Release


A wild affair Saturday night at the Centre Marcel Dionne in Drummondville saw the Voltigeurs score five third period goals to topple the Wildcats 8-6 before 3,000 fans.

The Wildcats climbed back, after trailing 3-1, to take a 4-3 lead early in the third period, but 2 Volt tallies 28-seconds apart gave Drummondville the lead back. They then added a pair of empty netters before the Cats scored twice in the final minute of play to reach the 8-6 verdict.

Drummondville's Sam Oliver, from Saint John, scored four goals with an assist for a five-point night and 1st Star honors.

Moncton's Yoan Loshing matched his goal output from last season with his 33rd marker. Others to Alex Mercer (13th) Olivier Boutin (8th) Preston Lounsbury (18th) Shawn Carrier (5th) and Caleb Desnoyers (12th). The Volts had 41 shots at Jacob Steinman, the Cats countered with 31 at Riley Mercer. The Cats move to 28-16-3-3 at the 50-game mark.

It's a busy 4-game schedule this week - Moncton looks to reverse the 3-game losing streak Wednesday night in Cape Breton at 7pm. The Cats then host the Gatineau Olympiques Friday night at 7pm at Avenir Centre and move into a home-and-home with the Mooseheads - Sunday at Scotiabank Cetnre at 3pm and NB Family Day Monday at 2pm at the Avenir Centre.
