9/11 Recap: Q pair contribute to W's before departing

With the bulk of Sabres CHL prospects flying into town on Saturday, the club's two QMJHLers got another crack at getting in the regular season stat column before departing for their first NHL training camps.

Jerome Gauthier-Leduc posted a pair of assists, one each at even strength and on the power play, as Rimouski avenged their opening night thrashing with a 3-2 win over Lewiston. The 6'2 rearguard has skated the first two games on the Nics top pair with Ryan Kavanaugh. And just like that, JGL heads to Buffalo tied for third in QMJHL scoring for defensemen...

In Val-d'Or, Cedrick Henley (-1) earned an assist on the game's opening goal as the Foreurs defeated Quebec, 3-2 in a shootout. The lanky 6'5 wing has lots of room to develop, making the next week in Buffalo a key confidence booster moving forward.
