Troy Lajeunesse had another strong game scoring his fifth goal and adding a helper.
Also scoring for the Sting were Daniel Nikandrov and Patrick White with a shorthanded marker. Anthony DeAngelo had two assists as did Nikita Korostelev and Vladislav Kodola.
Letowski feels a lot of his players "stepped up".
