Sting beat the Spitfires again

The Sarnia Sting defeated the visiting Windsor Spitfires 5-1.

It was the second night in a row with wins over the "Spits". On Thursday the Sting edged Windsor 5-4 in overtime.

Curtis Egert (4) opened the scoring for the Sting four minutes into the opening period.

Jacob Perreault (13) made it 2-0 midway through the second with Calvin Martin (8) and Franco Sproviero (12) also scoring in the period.

Curtis Douglas (14) tallied Windsor's lone goal seven minutes into the final period and the Sting's Adam Ruzicka (10) potted a goal with 20 seconds left in the game.

Rookie Ethan Langevin stopped 31 of 32 shots for Sarnia and the first star says he's gaining more confidence between the pipes.

"Sure I've got a lot more confidence in the last couple of weeks by just playing more and getting used to it. It's good having a good offence because as you saw last game I gave up four goals and still ended up winning so that's never bad."

Windsor goalie Kari Piiroinen played the first two periods giving up four goals on 21 shots. He was replaced by newly acquired Colton Incze in the third allowing a goal on nine shots.

The Sting won their seventh in the past 10 games, improving to 14-13-2-2. Windsor falls to 14-14-2-1 and into a third place tie with Saginaw in the OHL's West Division, one point back of the Sting.

On Saturday Sarnia is home to Kingston at 2:05 p.m. for the annual Teddy Bear Toss game.

The pregame show starts at 1:40 on 103.9 FM - 1070 AM CHOK.
