The QMJHL’s latest Videotron Player of the Week is Blainville-Boisbriand Armada winger Justin Carbonneau. In three games, the 18-year-old from Lévis, Quebec scored seven times and added a pair of assists as the Armada went 2-1-0-0 on the week.
On Thursday night at home, Carbonneau played a pivotal role in an Armada comeback against the Charlottetown Islanders. Down 3-1 late in the second, the third-year veteran, who had already recorded an assist in the game, found the back of the net to pull his squad to within one. Carbonneau went on to snipe the winner 1:52 into the extra frame to deliver a 4-3 overtime triumph. Carbonneau was the easy choice for first star of the contest.
Back at home on Saturday afternoon, the Armada would fall to the Moncton Wildcats 5-2. However, Carbonneau would score his 42nd goal of the season to provide a third-period lead for Blainville, who would take the league-leading Cats down to the wire before ultimately going down to defeat.
In Drummondville on Sunday afternoon, Carbonneau would put the Armada back on track in a big way. By the time the game was over, the dynamic forward had recorded his first four-goal game in the QMJHL, added an assist for good measure, and was named the first star in a 7-3 Armada victory over the Western Conference leading Voltigeurs. Carbonneau’s second goal of the contest would also prove to be his second game-winner of the week.
As the Armada continues to battle for position in the upper level of the Western Conference, Carbonneau keeps finding the back of the net. He currently sits at 46 goals and 87 points, good for second overall in the ‘Q’ in both departments. Carbonneau is considered one of the top prospects for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
