The Acadie-Bathurst Titan, with three Newfoundlanders in their lineup, have wrested home-ice advantage from the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final and will be looking to make the most of it now that the best-of-seven series has shifted to Bathurst, N.B., for the next two games, beginning tonight.
St. John’s native Evan Fitzpatrick made 27 saves for the shutout as the Titan blanked the Armada 4-0 Saturday in Boisbriand, Que., to tie the series at 1-1. The Armada had won Friday’s opener 4-1.
Bathurst defenceman Adam Holwell, who is also from St. John’s, registered three assists in the first two games. The other Newfoundlander playing for the Titan is centre Jordan Maher of Gander.
Game 4 is Wednesday night in Bathurst.
