Box Score
MONTREAL -- Goaltender Andrew Flemming of Quispamsis, N.B., kicked aside all 28 shots fired his way as McGill kicked-off Homecoming Week with a 6-0 rout over the Ottawa Gee-Gees in men's hockey at McConnell Arena, Friday.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

It was the second shutout in as many outings for Flemming, a second-year master's student in kinesiology, who transferred to McGill last year after graduating from Royal Military College. It marked the first time since 2006 that McGill had posted back-to-back shutouts. That year, they collected consecutive goose-eggs on the road against Toronto and Ryerson, 3-0 and 4-0, respectively, Oct. 27-28.

"We had great goaltending from Flem," said McGill head coach Kelly Nobes. "He's been playing with a lot of confidence. His rebound control has been outstanding. He's aggressive and excited about the position that he is in."

McGill, which had a 31-28 edge in shots, led 1-0 after one period, 3-0 after two and exploded for three more in the final stanza.

Six different players scored for the Redmen, including the game-winner by Jonathan Brunelle at 19:09 of the opening period. Other McGill marksmen were Patrick Delisle-Houde, rookie Neil Prokop, Mathieu Pompei, Guillaume Langelier-Parent and Max Le Sieur.

The Redmen went 1-for-6 on the power-play and killed off all 10 shorthanded situations, including a pair of 5-on-3 efforts. They have yet to give up a power-play goal over their three league games, snuffing out 19 in a row.

"It was a total team effort, from our net all the way to the other end of the ice," said Nobes. "Our penalty-kill was outstanding, the PK guys really stepped up tonight, especially when killing off a number of 5-on-3 shorthanded situations. We got offensive production from all four lines. Our D-men were real good on the transition and managing the aggressive forecheck pressure that Ottawa gave us, especially early in the game. We're excited about this young group of guys. It was nice to see us still push forward and being relentless in the third period and not sit back on a three-goal lead."

The Redmen (2-0-1) will host UQTR (1-2-0) on Saturday at 7 p.m.

REDMEN RAP: This was the 186th lifetime meeting between these clubs dating back to the series debut in 1968... McGill leads the series with a 97-79-10 record overall, including 20 of the last 22 meetings... It was not a happy McGill Homecoming for two members of the Gee-Gees who both got their collegiate starts at McGill. After helping the Redmen win a national championship during his freshman year in 2011-12, defenceman Nicolas Therrien decided to transfer to Ottawa, where he had to sit out last year before becoming eligible to play.... Also, current Gee-Gees head coach Real Paiement once patrolled the blueline for McGill from 1983 to 1985 before hanging up his skates and serving a few years as an assistant coach with the Redmen.
