Jean-Francois Houle wouldn’t mind of all of his games in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League went like this one.

Four different skaters scored and Adrien Lemay made 27 saves, including several in the final minute with the team two men down as the Lewiston Maineiacs welcomed their new coach to the bench with a 4-3 win over division-leading Victoriaville on Sunday.

“The players played hard, they followed the system,” Houle said. “Our goalie played well. The key players were the key guys tonight.”

Etienne Brodeur, Sam Finn, Billy Lacasse and Stefan Fournier scored for Lewiston, which has now won two of four since changing coaches. Jeff Guay was 1-2 as the team’s interim head coach before Houle arrived this weekend to take over full time.

The team had a handful of players on the ice Sunday who were new to the team as well. Nick Huard, who spent some of last season with Lewiston before being a late cut in this summer’s training camp, along with Mathieu Brisebois, Marc-Andre Carre and Marc-Antoine Rousseau played minutes for the Maineiacs on Sunday.

“I thought all of the new guys played well,” Houle said. “They adapted to the system well. e had just an hour of practice (Saturday), but they all paid attention when we went through it.”

Stefan Fournier, who had a stellar training camp but had disappeared through the middle part of the first half of the season, scored what turned into the game-winner in the third period.

“He’s a big body,” Houle said of Fournier. “He wins a lot of battles in the corners and he was able to take the puck to the net. That’s where he’s the most effective, when he’s in front.”

Lemay was back to his old form, too.

“There was no panic in his game,” Houle said. “We were down 6-on-3 at the end, and he faced a couple of breakaways in the second period, and he stopped all of those. He was very poised under pressure.”

Lewiston and Victoriaville traded goals in the second period, with Brodeur and Finn offsetting goals by Brandon Hynes and Olivier Hinse. Billy Lacasse put the Maineiacs on top for good in the third and Fournier added what turned into a much-needed insurance tally.

The same two teams meet again Monday night at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee to kick off the Maineiacs’ longest homestand of the season, a six-game set that includes four during school vacation week, and a special 2 p.m. matinee on New Year’s Eve day.

“I’m not used to so many games so quickly,” said Houle, whose coaching experience has all come at the NCAA level with Clarkson. “But the team will be all right, as long as they all work hard and play with passion like they did (Sunday). We’ll get home, get some rest and be ready for (Monday).”
