Harland’s second of the night and 40th goal of the season cut into the visitors lead at 11:15 of the middle stanza before Roy hit the hat trick with a power play effort on the next shift.
Patrick Picard added another for Abitibi with 92 seconds to go in the frame to make it 8-2 after 40 minutes.
A man advantage effort supplied by Jake Staples in the third and on at even strength courtesy of Nathaniel McLeod brought the Voodoos closer only to see Roy cap off his five-point night with his fifth tally of the evening at 17:10 to round out the scoring.
Logan Ferrington made 37 saves to pick up the win for the Eskimos.
Jack Ondrovic was saddled with the loss for Powassan.
