Sting Fall Behind 2-0 to Spirit
The Sarnia Sting attempted to tie up their first-round playoff series last night in Saginaw.
Damien Giroux opened the scoring five minutes and forty-two seconds into the game on the power play. Bode Wilde drew the assist.
Exactly three minutes later, Cole Perfetti scored his second goal of the playoffs to make it 2-0 for the Spirit. Assisting on the goal was Owen Tippett and Hayden Davis.
The only goal that was scored in the second period was scored by Tippett, his third of the playoffs. Giroux and Perfetti assisted on the power play tally.
In the third period, Bode Wilde scored to make it 4-0 for the Spirit, just under two minutes into the third period. Albert Michnac and Tippett assisted on the power play goal.
Just past the midway mark of the third period, Jacob Perreault received a pass from Hugo Leufvenius and gots a short breakaway on which he buried the puck past Prosvetov for his first career OHL playoff goal. This made it 4-1 and ended Prosvetov's shutout.
The Spirit respond three minutes later with their fifth goal of the game, scored by Giroux, his second of the game. Justin Murray had the assist.
Ivan Prosvetov started for the Spirit, and stopped 37/38 shots in a big win. Ethan Langevin was in net for the Sting and he saved 44/49 shots in the loss.
Game three of this series is on Tuesday in Sarnia as the Sting will look to get their first win of the playoffs.
