Connor Trenholm and Alex Mercier replied for Moncton (21-15-0-2). Jacob Steinman stopped 36 shots.
Savoie opened the scoring 11:05 into the first period before both sides went quiet in the second. In the final 8:07 of the third, however, the two sides combined for five goals.
Trenholm knotted the contest at 11:53 before Agostino restored the Remparts's lead 42 seconds later. Roy's marker at 15:52 gave Quebec a two-goal edge.
Despite Mercier trimming the lead back down to one just 15 seconds after, the Wildcats failed to tie it as Malatesta added an empty netter with one second remaining.
