After a scoreless first period the Sarnia Sting scored three times in the second and three times in the third enroute to a 6-2 win over the visiting North Bay Battalion. Sean Josling and Hugo Leufvenius scored two goals each for Sarnia. Leufvenius, now with a team high 34 goals, admits the team got off to a slow start. "I think they were a little bit more hungry then we were but then at the end of the first and the mid-part of the second period we really came on top. We started to push them down and kept scoring and it was a good two points for the team." Nick Grima (4) opened the scoring for Sarnia at three minutes into the second period on the power play. Harrison Caines tied the game four minutes later before Leufvenius scored at 9:42 and potted the game winner at 13:33. Sarnia native Franco Sproviero (20) made it 4-2 two minutes into the third. Josling scored four minutes later. Mitchell Russell scored a late goal for the Battalion before Josling (18) added an empty-netter. Ethan Langevin stopped 27 of 29 shots in the Sarnia net while Christian Propp turned aside 33 Sting shots. The Sting host the OHL West Division-leading Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds Sunday afternoon. The pregame show starts at 1:35 p.m. on 103.9 FM - 1070 AM CHOK.
