Andrew Brethauer September 9th, 2011


Leamington, ON – The Sarnia Legionnaires dropped their first game of the season on the road to the Leamington Flyers 3-1 on Thursday night, allowing two powerplay goals on seven powerplays despite going 0 for 8 on their own powerplay.

Tanner Ferguson got the Legionnaires on the board first with his first period goal 3:46 into the first period. Kyle Washer stopped all 12 shots Leamington tossed on net to give Sarnia 1-0 lead after the first period.

In the second period while on a powerplay, Alex Seguin would knot the game up a 1-1.

The third would see Seguin score his second powerplay goal of the game 3:06 into the third period, giving Leamington their first lead. Nick Beaune would add a second goal in the period for the Flyers, as Leamington skated to a 3-1 victory.

Sarnia outshot the Flyers 30-28, with Kyle Washer making 27 saves in the loss, and Colin Greeley making 29 saves in the win for the Flyers.

Sarnia will look for their first win of the season at home on Thursday, September 8th, as they welcome the LaSalle Vipers to the Sarnia Arena.
