The Sarnia Sting were at home this holiday
weekend and celebrated wins against Oshawa (5-2)
and Kitchener (4-3) on Friday and Saturday
nights.
In the 5 - 2 against Oshawa Nail Yakupov opened the
scoring in the first period. Taylor Carnevale
scored his first of the season on a penalty shot to
give Sarnia the 2 - 0 lead. Late in the
second Oshawa Lucas Lessio added one to the
scoreboard and the two teams headed into the third
with Sarnia leading 2 - 1.
On the powerplay and after many changes Reid Boucher
finally had one slip by the Oshawa goaltender take a
3 - 1 lead. Nathan Chiarlitti scored his
first goal of the season to make it 4 - 1.
With Oshawa on the powerplay Christian Thomas scored
with less than 5:00 minutes on the clock.
Action continued and in the final minute Taylor
Carnevale scored his second of the night and for the
season into an empty net.
The Sting outshot the Generals 40 - 29 and went
1 for 3 on the powerplay, Generals went 1 for 2.

In
the third period Boucher scored his third goal
giving him the hat trick and the Sting taking
