Legionnaires fall again on the road
andrew brethauer September 16th, 2011


St. Marys, ON – One night removed from a nine goal performance by the Sarnia Legionnaires in their home opener against LaSalle, Sarnia went back on the road to St. Marys and suffered their second road loss of the season in a 6-2 defeat to the Lincolns.

Things started off bad for the Legionnaires as Sean Consitt scored 1:15 into the first period to give the Lincolns the early lead. Two minutes later, David Sproat would make it 2-0 St. Marys, as Sarnia could only get 8 shots on net and not score on any of the attempts.

In the second period, it took 12 seconds for Sarnia to get back into the game, as Brent Sauve scored his third of the season to cut the lead in half.

It would take 16 minutes for another goal to cross the line, and the Legionnaires did it while on the shorthand. Jason Teschke scored his second of the season to tie the game at 2-2. But two minutes later, penalty trouble would finally catch up the Legionnaires as Mitch McIntosh made it 3-2 St. Marys at the end of the second.

Sarnia was again outshot 16-8 in the period.

In the third, it was all St. Marys, as the Lincolns scored three in the period. Mike Mandarelli and Reid Oliver made it 5-2 for the Lincolns, while Jonathan Rizzo added a powerplay goal, as St. Marys topped Sarnia 6-2.

Sarnia was 0 for 4 on the powerplay, but took seven penalties and allowed two powerplay goals.

Sean Parker got the start in net tonight and faced 46 shots, stopping 40 of them in the loss.

Sarnia is now 1-2-0 on the season, with both losses coming on the road. Sarnia has been outscored on the road 9-3 in the two games.

The Legionnaires will return home on Thursday, as they welcome the Lambton Shores Predators to the Sarnia Arena for the first Lambton County match up of the season.
