QMJHL Roundup: A look at Friday's games

An offensive-surge in the second period was all the Gatineau Olympiques needed Friday to defeat the Halifax Mooseheads 6-1 in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Tomas Hyka and Martin Reway each scored twice and Dominic Poulin added one more as the Olympiques (1-2-0) scored five times in the middle period.

Poulin also scored in the third to round out Gatineau's offence, while Reway picked up an assist for a three-point night.

Nathan MacKinnon scored the lone goal for the Mooseheads (2-1-0).

Gatineau's Michael Nishi made 29 saves to pick up his first win of the season. Halifax's Zachary Fucale allowed four goals on 13 shots before leaving midway through the second period.
