The Cape Breton Eagles can advance to the QMJHL semifinals.
They need one more win against Chicoutimi in their second round series.
Game 4 goes Wednesday night in Quebec.
The Eagles posted a 6-2 victory Tuesday night thanks to a hat-trick by Jacob Newcombe, and grabbed a 3-0 series lead.
Cape Breton has not been to the third round of the playoffs since 2007.
Jacob is also the first ever Eagle to record a playoff hat trick in a single period. Congrats Newc! https://t.co/6LO9YuGrmy
