Ugolin Marcon delivered a three-goal eruption as Les Jeunes Brutes outgunned the Gooners 9-7 in a wild playoff game at Hockey Etcetera - Saputo, preserving Les Jeunes Brutes' spotless 10-0-2 start while handing the Gooners a bruising postseason defeat. Both clubs came in as offensive juggernauts, and the scoreline reflected that pedigree.

The opening frame was a statement by Les Jeunes Brutes. Defenseman Leo Raymond struck immediately at 0:00, and late-period markers from Issa Robitaille-Seck and Ugolin Marcon put the hosts up 3-0, forcing the Gooners into an early uphill battle.

Period two turned into a frantic exchange. Phil Kozukan, Greg Stefanidakis and Jesse Janna rallied the Gooners with a three-goal surge, but Marcon answered with two quick goals inside the middle stanza and Jacob Lebeau added another for the home side. Noah Razon kept the visitors close with a late P2 strike, making it a high-octane 6-4 game after 40 minutes.

The third period stayed chaotic — Raymond opened again, Andrew Chin replied at 0:11, and Jeremy Nadeau and Phil Kozukan traded blows. A late roughing penalty on Raymond couldn’t derail the home attack; Sacha Belanger and Jesse Janna traded final goals to finish the back-and-forth.

Ugolin Marcon, Leo Raymond and Noah Razon were the game’s standouts. It was a night to forget for Evan Athanasiou, who yielded nine goals. The win keeps Les Jeunes Brutes rolling into the next phase of the playoffs and leaves the Gooners searching for answers on how to slow down an avalanche of scoring.
