The Lions de Trois-Rivières faced the Norfolk Admirals three times last week at the Colisée Vidéotron and accomplished their first sweep of the season, extending their winning streak to four games and moving into a playoff spot.
It is certainly reason to rejoice that the Lions are turning their season around after a slow start. However, Norfolk are the worst team in the league, earning just one win in 12 games prior to facing the Lions, so the challenge for the Lions was really not about beating the Admirals but trying not to beat themselves.
The Lions would need to do it without Brennan Saulnier, who was traded to AHL Belleville for future considerations by the Rocket, after Saulnier was unable to get any ice time in Laval and struggled with the Lions.
