4/24 Recap: Two more for Byron as Gatineau moves on

2007 sixth-round pick Paul Byron scored the first two Gatineau goals in their 5-2 win over Halifax. The win advances les Olympiques to the President's Cup Finals where they will face the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. With seven of his team's 17 goals in the series, Byron has potted a healthy 15 in 14 playoff games, a total that ties him atop the QMJHL playoff leaderboard. High-flying linemate Claude Giroux (PHI) has also made his presence known, posting 12-25-37 over the same stretch to make him the leading point getter.
