Titans down the Bulls 7-2
The Titans opened their back to back game against the Bradford Bulls on Thursday evening with a 7-2 win. One look at the shot clock would dictate a closer affair, but if not for some stellar netminding by Titans Eloi Bouchard the score would have been tighter. The Titans never trailed in this game leading 3-0 after the first period on goals by Misha Akatnov, Thomas Laforge and Bayley Chenier while shorthanded.
The second saw the Titans outscore the Bulls 4-2 to head into the final 20 minutes with a 7-2 lead. All four goals were off the stick of the GMHL’s leading point getter, Marc-Antoine Turcotte. The third period was scoreless as both goaltenders played solidly in their respective nets. The shots were 48-47 Titans. The game’s 3 stars were Marc-Antoine Turcotte, Eloi Bouchard and Josh Labelle of the Bulls. With the victory, the Titans claim top spot in the North Division with 41 points on a record of 20-5-1. Yannick Ethier ended up with 3 assists, Nicolas Tremblay had 3 helpers while Alex Provost-Ross chipped in with a pair of helpers.
