LEWISTON – Everything that the Lewiston Maineiacs did right on Friday in a 10-2 pasting of Rimouski evaporated a night later.

Yes, the Maineiacs allowed just two goals to the Oceanic, but also allowed Rimouski eight tries with a man advantage instead and lost one-on-one battles for the puck all night.

The result?

The first win by a visiting team at the Colisee this season, as Marc-Antoine Pouliot and Jean-Sebastien Cote scored to lift Rimouski to a 2-0 win.

“We played stupid,” said Maineiacs coach Clem Jodoin. “We can’t win a game when we are in the penalty box all the time. How can we have intensity if we are playing in the box?”

For Rimouski, it was a bit of redemption after the Maineiacs blew them out so badly just one night before that coach Donald Dufresne made the team walk back to their hotel in Auburn.

“We had the commitment today,” said Dufresne. “Last night was a joke out there. We allowed a third goal and stopped playing. We were not proud at all of the effort, so the team made a commitment to play better tonight.”

Pouliot was a prime example of that extra effort, managing a goal and a solid performance offensively while battling flu-like symptoms that prevented him from commenting after the game. That goal, on a picture-perfect power play pass from Sidney Crosby, was all the Rimouski Oceanic needed thanks in part to Cedrick Desjardins. Chased from the net on Friday, Desjardins stopped 26 shots on Saturday to earn the shutout win.

“He really did not play that bad on Friday,” said Dufresne. “It was more of a team effort we did not have in the second half of the game. He was very good for us tonight.”

Not that he had to be, according to Jodoin.

“We didn’t test him at all,” said Jodoin.

Cote tipped home a feed from Maxime Desruisseaux on a short-handed break after Jonathan Paiement coughed up the puck at the blue line to put Rimouski ahead 2-0.
