It turns out that Evan Mosher is something of a late bloomer.

The 20-year-old goaltender made 28 saves as the P.E.I. Rocket blanked the Halifax Mooseheads 3-0 in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action Friday night.

This is only Mosher's second shutout in five years with the Rocket. He's seen limited play in that span, earning 33 wins in 59 games.

Mosher, a native of Conception Bay South, N.L., had his most productive season last year, playing 37 times with 21 victories, a .904 saves percentage and a 3.13 goals-against average.

He's off to an even better start this year, winning eight of 15 games, dropping his GAA to 2.83 and raising his saves percentage to .917.

Elsewhere in the QMJHL it was: Gatineau 2 Cape Breton 1; Moncton 4 Acadie-Bathurst 1; Quebec 1 Chicoutimi 0; Victoriaville 5 Rimouski 3; Montreal 4 Baie-Comeau 3 (SO); Lewiston 5 Drummondville 4 and Saint John 7 Val-d'Or 3.
