The Mooseheads were one shootout goal away from franchise history Sunday in Rimouski.

Looking for their 15th win in a row, the Mooseheads came out strong Sunday afternoon in Rimouski. Goals by Luca Ciampini, Marty Frk, Matt Boudreau, Brent Andrews and Darcy Ashley gave the Moose a 5-1 lead after 2 periods and it looked like the game was the Mooseheads for the taking. Then everything changed. The Herd got back on their heels and took some undisciplined penalties and the Oceanic captalized tying the game with under 3 minutes to play.

The Herd killed off a Steve Gillard penalty in overtime before heading to an epic shootout, dominated by Zach Fucale and Oceanic netminder Phillipe Desrosiers. The two netminders stopped a combined 17 or 22 shooters, with a Simon Fortier goal making the difference. The Moose record now stands at 16-1-0-1.

The Moose next hit the ice next Friday night on Rogers Sportsnet against the Gatineau Olympiques in Gatineau. Be sure to tune it to cheer on the Moose!
