Michael Joly reprised his role as a Quebec Remparts killer, and the Rimouski Océanic lived to play at least one more day with a 4-0 Memorial Cup win.
For the first time in 29 years, teams from the same league will meet on back-to-back nights in the round-robin and the tiebreaker game. The composed Océanic, paced by a four-point effort from Joly, seized on the undisciplined, unsettled Remparts for their sixth consecutive win on the Colisée ice over their division rivals in front of a crowd of 10,277, most of whom ducked out well before the final buzzer.
Quebec, whose night could not have gone much worse, saw key forwards Anthony Duclair and Jérome Verrier leave in the third period due to injuries.
