Karabacek starts with helpers

Vaclav Karabacek notched two assists Thursday including one on the game winning goal as Gatineau edged Cape Breton 5-4 in overtime. Talented 2015 draft prospect Evgeny Svechnikov posted three helpers for the Screaming Eagles in defeat to earn the game's No. 3 star. Les Olympiques will look to continue their winning ways Sunday when they take on Rouyn-Noranda.

In the OHL, Eric Cornel (-3) was held without a point as Peterborough opened the season with 5-3 loss to Kingston. The Petes were without the services of star winger Nick Ritchie, who remains at training camp with the NHL's Anaheim Ducks. The Petes get back to work Thursday versus Belleville.
