A crazy third period that saw three goals in the final five minutes led to a shootout that Les Canadiennes used to beat the Brampton Thunder 5-4 in an instant classic on Saturday at the Boisbriand arena.
Marie-Philip Poulin scored two goals in regulation, plus the only goal in a shootout in the win, but the game only reached the extra frame thanks to an unlikely goal from an unlikely source.
Canadiennes captain Cathy Chartrand's shot from the slot found its way in the net past Brampton goaltender Erica Howe with 28.
