In the second period the Sting notched a quick goal from a blistering shot off the stick of Jeff Noppen, helped out by Alex MacEachern. Both sides had numerous chances but as the second period ended Sarnia was up 2-0.  As the third period got underway both sides had scoring opportunities but Graeme Wattie took charge, picking up a loose puck, and broke in on London's goalie scoring Sarnia's 3rd goal of the night unassisted. At the final buzzer the Sting skated away with the win shutting out London 3-0. Zac Lippiatt played a strong game in goal earning the shutout

Sarnia vs Stratford: 

Sarnia traveled to Stratford and played one of their best games of the year. As was the night before, the Sting got on the score board first off a bullet from Viktor Kovacs, helped out by Chris Taylor. Stratford would come hard at the net but at the end of the first period the score remained 1-0 for Sarnia. The second period saw the Sting take complete control and scored 2 unanswered goals off the sticks of Taylor Smith and Derek D'Andrea with helpers going to Kovacs (2), David Sparks and Eric Hicks. As the third period got under way Stratford managed to get a goal, but the Sting came right back with one of their own from Derek D'Andrea assisted by Taylor and Ryan Jennings to make it 4-1. As the game wore on both sides were playing physical hockey and the hits were taking their toll. Stratford was able to notch another goal but the Sting bench would not give in as the entire team played well to get the victory. Ben Johnson played a gritty game in net to secure the win.
