{allcanada} QMJHL: ROY EARNS SHUTOUT AS ACADIE-BATHURST WINS IN SHOOTOUT

 

Even though he let the puck into the net on Saturday night, goaltender Olivier Roy earned a shutout.

Roy made 32 saves as the Acadie-Bathurst Titan downed the Drummondville Voltigeurs 1-0 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League play.

Ondrej Palat was able to slip the puck past Roy in the third round of the shootout.

However, as Jonathan Lessard and Sebastien Trudeau scored for Acadie-Bathurst in the shootout, Roy finishes the night with no goals against, a shutout, and a win.

In addition to his 32 saves, Roy turned away Alexandre Comtois, Sean Couturier and Marc-Olivier Vachon in the shootout.

Drummondville's Guillaume Nadeau almost had a clean sheet himself, stopping 22 shots and denying Zach O'Brien and Gabriel Levesque in the shootout.
