Struggling Sarnia Sting lose 5-2 in Kingston

The Sarnia Sting lost their third in a row on the road Sunday, falling 5-2 to the Kingston Frontenacs.

Jordan Bax and Ryan Brown both scored for Sarnia in the loss.

Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Tyler Hopkins led the way for Kingston with a goal and two assists.

Sting Goalie Evan Maillet made 25 saves in net.

It was the Sting's first game without Alan Letang who was fired as head coach following a 9-3 loss to the 67's in Ottawa on Friday.

Sting GM Dylan Seca said it was certainly not something they were looking forward to.

"An incredible person, a great ambassador for our community, our organization over the years, a mentor to the players and to myself, we've become close friends and I know that will always carry through," said Seca. "This is the business that we signed up to be a part of and play in and I know that what he wants is for us to go on, turn this page and become a team that we believe we can be."

Sarnia is sitting in ninth place in the OHL Western Conference with a 6-11-4 record.

The Sting are back on the road Friday night in Brantford. You can catch the game live on CHOK (103.9FM/1070AM).
