As
was in their opening game, the Sting
showed true grit and never gave up.
Early in the second period, Sting left
winger Mateo Troiani took the pass from
Adam Ikert and wristed the shot past the
Bandit goalie to bring the Sting within
one.
In
the third period, Sarnia tied the game
on a beautiful individual rush when
Lleyton Williams showed his stick
handling ability and manouevered around
the London defense finding the back of
the Bandit net with a hard precise wrist
shot. The goal seemed to lift the Sting
spirits as they began to pressure in the
offensive zone. Their efforts would be
rewarded when centermen Cayden Wise
dumped the puck into the corner to
winger Mateo Troiani who made the
perfect backhanded pass which found the
stick of teammate Adam Ikert who blasted
a shot into the bottom corner of the
London goal.
