Defenseman Stephen Desrocher, a prospect for the 2015 NHL Draft, scored at 18:07 of overtime to give the Oshawa Generals a 5-4 victory against the host Quebec Remparts on Sunday at the 2015 Memorial Cup, played at Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City, Quebec.

Oshawa's Cole Cassels (Vancouver Canucks) beat Quebec's Kurt Etchegary on a faceoff on the right side of the Quebec zone, winning the puck back to Desrocher, No. 145 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters for the 2015 draft. Desrocher gloved the puck, dropped it on his stick, cut around a rushing Etchegary and found space in the right circle. His high shot beat Quebec goaltender Zachary Fucale (Montreal Canadiens) under the crossbar, past his glove.

"All the boys played a great game, and I guess I was the lucky guy to get the final one," Desrocher said, according to The Canadian Press. "I knew I didn't have a shooting lane at first and I tried to get around a guy and just tried to get it on net and it went in."

Hunter Smith (Calgary Flames) scored to break a 3-3 tie at 9:24 of the third period and the Oshawa Generals beat the Rimouski Oceanic 4-3 at the 2015 Memorial Cup at Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City, Quebec.

Smith dumped the puck in on Rimouski goaltender Philippe Desrosiers (Dallas Stars), and then the 6-foot-7, 208-pound forward fought through two Rimouski players to get to the puck and push it past Desrosiers.

Tobias Lindberg (Ottawa Senators), Michael Dal Colle (New York Islanders) and Stephen Desrocher also scored for Oshawa, the champions of the Ontario Hockey League. Goaltender Ken Appleby made 19 saves.

Tyler Boland, Alexis Loiseau and Jan Kostalek (Winnipeg Jets) scored for Rimouski, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion. Desrosiers made 33 saves.

Vladimir Tkachev, a prospect for the 2015 NHL Draft, had two assists to help the host Quebec Remparts to a 4-3 win against the Kelowna Rockets in the opening game of the Memorial Cup, played at Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City, Quebec.

Defensemen Nikolas Brouillard, Matt Murphy and Ryan Graves (New York Rangers) and forward Adam Erne(Tampa Bay Lightning) scored for the Remparts. Goaltender Zachary Fucale (Montreal Canadiens) made 25 saves.

The game was Quebec's first since a double-overtime loss at home in Game 7 of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final to the Rimouski Oceanic on May 18.

"We have a good group and they bounced back well," Quebec coach Philippe Boucher said, according to Canadian Press.

Nicholas Merkley, No. 23 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters for the 2015 draft, had a goal and an assist for Kelowna, the Western Hockey League champions. Gage Quinney and Leon Draisaitl(Edmonton Oilers) also scored for Kelowna. Goaltender Jackson Whistle made 27 saves.

Keys to victory for Rangers, Lightning in Game 4
Three keys to winning Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final for the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

Detail-oriented Ducks learned lessons from losses
After losing to the Los Angeles Kings in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Anaheim Ducks have taken those lessons and applied them to this year's Western Conference Final against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Waterloo Black Hawks forward Brock Boeser, a top prospect for the 2015 NHL Draft, was named to the United States Hockey League All-Rookie First Team on Friday.

Boeser, a 6-foot, 191-pound right wing, is No. 27 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters for the 2015 draft. He tied for the USHL lead with 35 goals, and was third with 68 points in 57 games. His 15 power-play goals were second in the league, and his 32 power-play points were tied for first. He had 10 multigoal games, including three hat tricks.

He's committed to attend the University of North Dakota next season.

The status of Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Matthew Carle is unknown heading into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the New York Rangers at Amalie Arena on Friday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).

"No update," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Thursday. "What's the line? Day-to-day, but then again, aren't we all?"

Carle left Game 3 at 9:55 of the first period following a collision in the neutral zone with New York Rangers center Derek Stepan. It appeared Carle was trying to go to the bench for a line change as Stepan was curling back to go into the New York zone.

Carle played three shifts totaling 1:36 in the first period. He entered the game averaging 17:34 of ice time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and has played in each of Tampa Bay's 16 games. He has two assists and is minus-6.
