SUNDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2016
COMMUNITY NEWS
The Sarnia Sting
earned their third consecutive
win on Saturday night - knocking
off the Owen Sound Attack by a
score of 4-1 at the Harry Lumley
Bayshore Community Centre.
With the win, Sarnia remains one
point ahead of the Windsor
Spitfires (who won 6-4 over
Flint Saturday night) in the
West Division Standings. The
Sting, who are now 35-17-5-2 on
the year, are just 6 wins away
from tying the franchise record
for most wins in a single
season.
Despite allowing the Cianfrone
goal on Owen Sound's first shot
of the game, Charlie Graham was
stellar in goal for the Sarnia
Sting. The overage netminder
turned aside 36 of 37 shots
faced, earning his second win in
as many nights. Montreal
Canadiens' property, Michael
McNivin took the loss in goal
for the Attack, making 35 saves
on 39 shots.
Ten minutes after Cianfrone
opened the scoring for Owen
Sound, sophomore centreman
Anthony Salinitri tied things up
on the doorstep for the Sting.
Matt Mistele and Jordan Kyrou
assisted on Salinitri's 2nd goal
in the last two games.
Just 5:12 into period two, Kevin
Spinozzi scored his 3rd of the
season and the eventual
game-winner. Noah Bushnell drew
the lone assist on the go-ahead
marker.
Moments after returning from a
lengthy stint in the penalty
box, Jakob Chychrun blasted home
a Travis Konecny pass on the
powerplay to give the Sting a
two-goal cushion heading into
the final stanza. Studnicka was
also handed an assist on
Chychrun's 10th of the season.
The first period started with
some rough stuff in front of the
Sting net as Jacob Busch's jab
on Konecny caused a crowd.
Konecny got his revenge less
than 1 minute later, scoring on
the breakaway and icing the game
for the Sarnia Sting.
The Sting play their third game
in as many nights in Sarnia
tomorrow. The Sting and Storm
square off at 7:05PM on Heart &
Stroke night at the SSEC. For
