Blues prospect Evan Fitzpatrick had been stellar in between the pipes in the postseason, leading the Acadie-Bathurst Titan to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League championship, but he may have saved his best performance for last.
On Sunday, Fitzpatrick posted a 28-save shutout - including a 17-save third period - to help the Titan to a 3-0 victory against the Western Hockey League's Regina Pats to capture the 2018 Memorial Cup - the first in Acadie-Bathurst's franchise history. The Memorial Cup pits the champions of the Canadian major junior leagues head to head in a four-team round-robin style tournament to determine an overall champion.
