Regiment grab 3-2 overtime win over Olympiques
The Newfoundland Regiment made it five straight wins on home ice as they outlasted the Gatineau Olympiques 3-2 in overtime on Sunday evening at the Mary Brown’s Centre.
Justin Larose finally broke the deadlock seven minutes into the second period with a powerplay marker to make it 1-0 Regiment.
Gatineau replied four minutes later and took their first lead of the weekend midway through the third as they went up 2-1 with 9:13 left to play.
Louis-Francois Belanger equalized for Newfoundland on the man advantage with 6:29 remaining in regulation before having the final say with just 11 seconds left in the overtime period as his second of the game sealed a series sweep and a 3-2 victory. Antoine Proulx made 28 saves including four big stops in the added frame.
Newfoundland next play a triple header away from home opening on Friday night against the Saint John Sea Dogs.
