TROIS-RIVIERES, PQ – The Trois-Rivieres Lions returned home Wednesday night to take on the Maine Mariners in the first game of a three-game set. Led by forwards Maxime St-Cyr and Anthony DeLuca and goalie Philippe Desrosiers, the Lions came away with a 4-2 victory.
A somewhat tranquil first period only saw one goal, with DeLuca putting the Lions ahead 1-0.
The Mariners’ Westin Michaud scored early in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. Lions forward Nicolas Larivière put Trois-Rivières back in front at the midway point of the period, with an assist going to Olivier Archambault. But Marc-Olivier Duquette scored for the visitors late in the period and the teams headed to their dressing rooms at intermission knotted at 2-2.
Cédric Desruisseaux’s goal in the third period gave the lead back to the Lions. St-Cyr’s first goal of the season provided the Lions with a two-goal lead and that’s the way the game would end, with the Lions registering a 4-2 victory. It was Trois-Rivières’ second win in a row.
The Lions’ netminder Desrosiers made 25 saves on 27 Maine shots to earn the victory.
The Lions’ next game is Friday night, December 17th. Come out and cheer on your Lions and also enjoy a holiday party atmosphere presented by Omnifab.
