Russia came up with three unanswered goals in the third period to win a tight game over the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League All-Stars by a score of 6-4 in the opening game of the ADT Challenge on Monday night.
Brad Marchand of the Val-d’Or Foreurs had given the All-Stars a 4-3 lead early in the third period; that lead didn’t last long as Nikolav Okhlobystin, Maxim Mamin and Mikail Milekhin all came through with goals in the same period.
Andrew Bodnarchuk of the Halifax Mooseheads came through with a goal and two assists in the game but the scoring simply wasn’t enough. Moncton Wildcats goaltender Nicola Riopel was pulled about half-way through the second period after allowing 3 goals on only 12 shots. He was replaced by Raffaele D’Orso of Val-d’Or; D’Orso allowed three goals on 19 shots.
The Russian team now moves onto Gatineau, Quebec for a rematch against the All-Stars before playing two games each against the Ontario Hockey League All-Stars and the Western Hockey League All-Stars to complete the ADT Challenge event.
