QMJHL | Canadian prospect Joshua Roy helps Phoenix win against Armada

(Sherbrooke) Joshua Roy threaded the needle once and the Sherbrooke Phoenix defeated the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 2-1 on Sunday.


The Montreal Canadiens prospect scored his 15e goal of the campaign when he accepted a cross pass from Justin Gill to hit the target.

Maxime Côté also moved the ropes for the Phoenix, which recovered after suffering a loss against the Drummondville Voltigeurs on Friday night.

Rookie goaltender Samuel St-Hilaire blocked 21 pucks and extended his winning streak to four.

Alexis Bourque took advantage of a power play to reduce the deficit to one goal, but the Armada was unable to tie the game. Bruce Richardson’s men suffered a fourth defeat in a row.

Charles-Édward Gravel had a good game, but his 28 saves weren’t enough to give his team a victory.
