Sunday . . .

JUST NOTES: The QMJHL’s Baie-Comeau Drakkar have fired general manager and head coach Éric Dubois, who had been with them since 2003-04. Baie-Comeau was 141-166-2 under Dubois, who recently was named head coach of Team Quebec for the 2010 U-17 World championship. . . . Whether LW Jamie Benn of the Kelowna Rockets plays in Game 3 of the WHL championship final on Monday likely won’t be known until early Monday evening. "He's feeling much better," Kelowna head coach Ryan Huska told Doyle Potenteau of the Kelowna Daily Courier. "He'll be a likely game-time decision, but he's looking pretty good." Benn left Game 2 in Calgary on Saturday night after taking a first-period hit from Calgary Hitmen D Keith Seabrook. The Rockets take a 2-0 lead into Monday’s game.
