Russia Wins 2014 Super Series

Two days after winning a pivotal game 5 to close the points gap, Team QMJHL was unable to win the 2014 Subway Super Series losing on Thursday night 3-2 to Team Russia. The victory gave Russia it's third Series title, winning 11-7 in points.

The Q made it a game scoring it's second goal of the third period at 12:31 but the damage had already been done earlier in the game with Russia taking a 3-0 lead going into the last 20 minutes. Igor Shestyorkin stood tall in the last few minutes of the game when the QMJHL were pressing hard to tie the game up and force overtime. Once again, Team QMJHL had a period where they only had one shot (second period) but the team led the shots category last night in Rimouski, with 27 shots to Russia's 21 overall.

Halifax Mooseheads goaltender did not play in this second QMJHL-Russia game. Instead, Philippe Desrosiers of the Game 6 hosts Rimouski Oceanic made the start.
