4/10 Recap: Grigorenko scores as Remparts slide to brink

Mikhail Grigorenko snagged a goal in the final minute of the opening frame Wednesday but Quebec blew a three-goal lead to take a 5-4 loss to Rouyn-Noranda. Trailing the series 3-1, Quebec will look to fend off elimination on the road in Friday's game five. The power play strike snapped a three-game point drought for Grigorenko, his longest since arriving in North American two seasons ago to play for Patrick Roy's Remparts.



Dan Catenacci (-2) scored his third goal of the playoffs as Owen Sound held on for a 4-3 win over Plymouth. The speedy scorer has nine points (3+6) through 10 post-seasons contests, while being whistled for a minor penalty in eight of them for a total of 22 PIM. The Owen Sound victory evens the Western Conference semifinal at two games apiece with the series shifting back to Plymouth for Friday's game five.
