Sarnia, ON – The Sarnia Sting had their seven game
win streak snapped Thursday night, as th e
Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defeated the Sting 5-2,
marking the first regulation home loss of the season
for the Sting, and first regulation loss since
October 10th.
It was all
Greyhounds in the first, as they fired 17 shots on
Brandon Maxwell in the period, scoring twice.
Brandon Alderson picked up his third goal of the
season just 30 seconds into the game, while David
Quesnele scored his second of the year with a minute
and a half remaining in the period.
But a much
strong second period would see the Sting turn it
around and tie the game. Nail Yakupov scored his
eight of the year on the powerplay, and Craig Hottot
got his fifth of the season just over a minute later
to even it back at 2-2.
But with
time about to expire in the period, Nick Cousins
would get sixth of the season with six seconds
remaining in the period, giving the Greyhounds their
lead back.
Sarnia
would be outshot 10-8 in the third period and would
not be able to claw any closer. Brett Findley would
put the Greyhounds up by two with his fifth of the
season, while Michael Schumacher would make it a
three goal game with his seventh of the season.
Maxwell
stopped 29 shots for only his second loss of the
season.
Reid
Boucher was on the ice for four on the Greyhounds
goals, going out with a plus/minus of -4. Charlie
Sarault, Nail Yakupov and Alex Basso each had -3 on
the night.
Sarnia is
right back into action on Friday, visiting Kitchener
before returning home on Saturday for a meeting with
Belleville.
