Blainville-Boisbriand Armada secured a narrow 4:3 victory over Gatineau Olympique in a QMJHL fixture on Friday evening. The result leaves both sides level on zero points after their opening outings, with the home side sitting fourth and the visitors seventh in the standings. The scoreline reflects a closely fought encounter where neither team managed to pull clear.
Armada entered the match having edged past Quebec Remparts 5:4 in their previous outing on Thursday. Gatineau's recent form has been mixed, including a 1:5 defeat to the same Armada side in February and a 2:5 loss to Chicoutimi earlier this month. Both teams came into this match looking to establish early momentum.
The final score suggests a match where chances were created but defensive resilience kept things tight. With four goals for the hosts and three for the visitors, neither side dominated proceedings for long stretches. The result extends Armada's record to two wins and three losses across five games, while Gatineau remain on two victories and two defeats from four matches.
>The standings offer little to distinguish the sides at this stage. Both teams have accumulated zero points with minimal games played, and the gap between fourth and seventh place carries no real significance yet. What matters is that Armada took all three points at home, while Gatineau's search for consistency continues.
