GATINEAU, Que. — Olivier Nadeau scored a little less than two and a half minutes into overtime as the Shawinigan Cataractes squeaked past the Gatineau Olympiques 4-3 in a battle between the Western Conference's two top teams Sunday in the QMJHL.
Nadeau had two goals and an assist in the win for the Cataractes (28-11-4).
Gatineau's (27-10-7) Mathieu Bizier sent the game into overtime with 12 seconds left to play, scoring his second goal of the afternoon.
Shawnigan goalie Charles-Antoine Lavallee helped keep his team in it. The Olympiques outshot the Cataractes 35-21, but their barrage could only make Lavallee bend but not break.
Pierrick Dube also had three points in the Shawnigan victory.
