Mooseheads win in overtime, take 2-0 series lead

Liam Kilfoil was the hero as the Halifax Mooseheads defeated the Drummondville Voltigeurs 3-2 in overtime, with the series now heading back to Halifax.

Drummondville and Halifax traded goals in the first period. Shawn Carrier scored his first playoff goal of his QMJHL career, sending a one timer from Quinn Kennedy past the Drummondville netminder Louis-Félix Charrois from the right wing faceoff circle. The Voltigeurs responded as Ethan Gauthier knocked the puck into the Mooseheads net after back to back saves from Jacob Steinman.

After a scoreless second period Braeden MacPhee put the Herd back on top, scoring on a rebound off of a shot from Amelio Santini. Sam Oliver seemingly tied the game back up for Drummondville with a minute remaining in the third but after a lengthy review the goal was called back.
