Calgary Flames defence prospect Jeremie Poirier scored an impressive goal in a Memorial Cup game on Saturday afternoon.
With his Saint John Sea Dogs on the power play, Poirier picked up the puck at the point and unleashed a wicked shot past Shawinigan Cataractes goaltender Antoine Coulombe.
Poirier’s first goal of the tournament gave Saint John a critical 4–3 lead with 5:48 to play in the second period.
Poirier’s goal was the fourth of five consecutive tallies for the Sea Dogs. After Shawinigan shot out to an early 3–0 lead, Saint John forward William Dufour scored a natural hat trick to open the middle frame before Poirier netted the go-ahead goal.
