Gervais would pick up one assist in the loss, then doubled his point total in Calgary the following night. The Pontiacs redeemed themselves with a 6-0 shutout over the Calgary Canucks and 2 assists for Gervais, including an assist on the opening goal, which would become the eventual game winner. On Friday night, the Pontiacs defeated the Okotoks Oilers 6-2 as Gervais kept his point streak alive with his fourth assist of the trip. Gervais added 3 assists on Saturday night as Bonnyville ended the trip with a 5-4 overtime win in Canmore.
