The Sarnia Sting goes after their second win in a row tonight when they host the Erie Otters at the RBC Centre.

Game time is 7:35 p.m. for the Ontario Hockey League contest.
 

Sarnia is coming off an emotional 3-2 shootout win over the Plymouth Whalers on Thursday night. Rookie forward Zack MacQueen was the only shooter of six to score in the shootout.
 

The Sting has taken seven out of a possible eight points in their last four games. That comes on the heels after dropping eight games in a row.
 

“We are not out of the woods yet,” said Sting head coach Dave MacQueen, when asked about his team’s performance over the past week and a half.
 

“We are a team that you have to keep pounding home the basics. It’s nice to show areas of improvement, but we also have to not take too many steps backwards. Taking seven of eight points is a big confidence builder for our team. We still have five games left before the Christmas break and it would be nice to play .500 hockey and have the players feeling good about themselves when they go home.”
 

Tonight is the third of four meetings between the Sting and Otters. Sarnia won the first game at the RBC Centre while Erie won in a shootout last Saturday.
 

“In talking with the Erie people after the game a week ago they felt they didn’t play that well and still got the two points. We felt we deserved a better fate. Erie will be playing their third game in as many nights while we get a night off.”

MacQueen added, “We have to approach this game like any other. We have to keep it simple and do the basics.”
 

Both teams come into tonight’s game having played 32 games apiece.
 

The Sting will likely have defenceman Brent Sullivan back in the lineup tonight. He missed Thursday’s game with a slight concussion. No word whether rookie forward Brett Ritchie will play tonight. He was assessed a five-minute boarding penalty and automatic game misconduct in the third period of the game with Plymouth.

The league office reviews all major penalties.
 

Forward Mirolsav Preisinger left the Plymouth game in the second period after blocking a shot with his right hand while killing a penalty. He did not return. X-rays revealed no broken bones, but he is listed as doubtful for tonight.

Sarnia completes the weekend Sunday night at Sault Ste. Marie.

Sarnia’s record is 13-17-1-1.
