Major Atom Sting lost their final regular season
game to the North London Nationals in London Monday
evening, but would win their first game of the
playoffs against Oakridge on Thursday evening.
The Sting would lose by a final score of 4 – 3 to
North London although they would outshoot the
Nationals by a margin of 35 – 11. Tristan Haagsma
(Jack Smith) scored an early goal to give the Sting
the lead but London would battle back scoring the
next 2 goals. Jack Smith (Brett Allardyce) would tie
the game for the Sting but North London would score
once again to take a 3 – 2 lead. Mac Caley (Jack
Smith, Justin Houle) would once again tie the score
for Sarnia. North London would score the go ahead
goal early in the 3rd period. The Sting would apply
some strong pressure, but would be unable to get the
equalizer and fall by a final score of 4 – 3.
On Thursday night, the Sting got off to a weak start
against Oakridge in the first game of the playdowns,
playing from behind for most of the game. The Sting
looked rather sloppy and tired for most of the game,
but were able to secure the win with 2 goals by Jake
Vince in the 3rd period for a final score of 4 - 3.
Dawson Young and Lucas Ross would score the other
Sting goals. Brett Allardyce would tally 3 assists,
Austin Coutts would pick up 2 assists with single
assists going to Tristan Haagsma and Mackenzie Caley.
James Dunn made several key saves as the winning
goaltender.
