The Sarnia
Major Atom Sting were involved in 2 more league games this
past weekend, coming up with 1 win and 1 loss.
On Saturday,
in Cambridge, the Sting again jumped out to a strong start
carrying the play for most of the period, with Brett
Allardyce (assist Lucas Ross) opening the scoring for a 1 –
0 lead at the end of the period. The Sting were able to
extend the lead to 2 – 0 at the beginning of the 2nd
period on a wrap around goal by Lucas Ross (assist Matthew
Torti).
The Cambridge
goalie stood tall in net the rest of the period, keeping his
team in the game and the Hawks were finally able to break
through with a goal at the beginning of the 3rd
period. The Sting responded quickly with what turned out to
be the game winning goal by Dawson Young (assist Tristan
Haagsma) to restore their 2 goal lead. Cambridge scored
late to narrow the lead, but Sarnia was able to hang on for
the 3 – 2 win with Max Musico playing a solid game in the
net.
On Sunday the
Sting were back at home to face a strong London Knights
Green team in what turned out to be a penalty filled
contest. The Sting found themselves in 1st
period penalty trouble and the Knights would score twice on
the power play to take a 2 – 0 lead after 1 period. In the
2nd period, the Sting would pick up the pace of
their game and were able to draw a number of penalties. The
Sting applied some excellent pressure on the power play, but
were unable to solve the strong London netminder. The
parade to the penalty box continued in the 3rd
period, with both teams going to the box several more
times. London picked up another power play goal and added a
short handed goal for a final score of London 4, Sarnia 0.
James Dunn played solid in goal for Sarnia, keeping his team
in the game. |
