It was the second and final day of intrasquad games on Saturday and both teams came away with a victory.
Just like the matches yesterday, this morning's game was super close going to a shootout to determine the winner. Team White opened the scoring with a penalty shot by Antoine Morand. Rookie Samuel Dube tied it up for Green before Raphael Lavoie scored to give White a 2-1 lead at the end of the first period, the first of two goals he scored in the game. Before long regulation was over and both teams headed straight to a shootout with the match tied at 4 goals a piece. 2018 import draft pick Marcel Barinka had the shootout winner for White. Other goals scored for the losers were by Benoit-Olivier Groulx, Justin Trudel and Kyle Petten while Barinka added one in regulation as well.
In the early evening game, it looked like the teams would go to the intermission scoreless but Groulx scored with minutes left to give Team Green a 1-0 lead. After three high-scoring matches, it was surprising to see just one goal through 40 minutes of play but Green didn't want to keep it that way as they scored 3 goals in the final 8 minutes to win the game 4-0. Joel Bishop and Trudel scored while the fourth goal was tipped in by someone. The two teams played 3 on 3 overtime for 10 minutes to end the series of scrimmages.
Late Saturday evening, the Mooseheads announced that three players have left training camp on their own accord; defenceman Stephen Davis, forward Ethan Phillips and goaltender Noah Battaglia. Phillips and Davis left camp to keep their NCAA eligibility. Both players were drafted in the 2018 QMJHL entry draft while Battaglia was a free agent invite. This leaves 44 players remaining at camp.
Half the team will now head to Cape Breton to take on the Screaming Eagles in both clubs first pre-season game. Puck drop is 4pm. The other half who stay home will have a workout.
