Trois-Rivières, May 4, 2025 – The Trois-Rivières Lions (affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens) staged a third-period comeback attempt but ultimately fell short in a 4–3 loss to the Norfolk Admirals (affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets). The best-of-seven series is now tied 1–1.
Both teams generated quality scoring chances in the opening period. Trois-Rivières struck first with a power-play goal from Morgan Adams-Moisan. However, Norfolk responded with two quick goals in the final 20 seconds of the period—both coming on the man advantage, the first during a 5-on-3 and the second during a 5-on-4.
The Admirals extended their lead with two more power-play goals in the second period, while the Lions were unable to respond offensively during the frame.
In the third period, Anthony Beauregard cut the deficit early with a power-play goal. Then, with five minutes remaining, Tyler Hylland brought Trois-Rivières within one. Despite a strong push in the final moments, the Lions could not find the equalizer and fell in regulation.
The series now shifts to Norfolk for Games 3, 4, and 5.
