Moncton’s Jacob Steinman and Gatineau’s Frankie Lapenna were both outstanding as the Cats were nipped 3-2 by the hometown Olympiques before 4,000 fans at the Centre Slush Puppie in Gatineau on Wednesday night.
Both netminders were dazzling — Steinman 35 saves and Lapenna 33 stops.
For the Wildcats, who have now dropped four straight contests, goals to Nathan Grenier (3rd) and Vincent Labelle (19th) with a late third period powerplay marker.
