Sarnia, ON:
The Saginaw Spirit
were shut out 3-0 by Sarnia Sting backup goal tender Aidan Hughes Friday night, and Sting starter Justin Fazio had continued to keep the Spirit out of the scoring column for 59:18 today, until the Spirit managed to score in the final minute of the game, however, the Sting still came away with a 6-1 victory over the Spirit at the Progressive Auto Sales Arena in Sarnia, ON this afternoon.
Second year Spirit forward Max Grondin (11) erased the Fazio shutout with his eleventh goal of the season with assists coming from Caleb Everett and Hayden Davis to cut the Sarnia lead to 6-1 at 19:18 of the third period.
The Sting had managed to put Saginaw behind the proverbial eight ball early with three unanswered goals midway through the first period when Franco Sproviero (9:16) Drake Rymsha (11:41) and Jordan Kyrou (12:03) each scored goals less than 3-minutes apart to take an early 3-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
Sarnia extended its lead early in the middle frame when Adam Ruzicka (32) scored a power play goal to give the Sting a 4-0 advantage at 6:47 of the second period.
