And with 50 seconds left before the break, Marco Alvarez took advantage of an opposing error and beat the goalkeeper with a precise shot.

The Blues will benefit from a numerical advantage at 4 against 3, and Éric Fouchard well placed in the slot reduces the gap.
With just two minutes left in the second, Nolhann Arthur scored for the Cougars. 5-2 at the end of the second
