Picking up the win for London

1st Period:
Sarnia opened the scoring just
2:35 into the game on an
unassisted marker by Jimmy
Purves. London replied with
one of their own on a Dustin
Deleary goal at the 8:55
mark with helpers to Gavin
Moynaugh and Mike Watson.
Sarnia found themselves in
penalty trouble down by two
runners at the 13:51 mark and
played five on three ball for 58
seconds. The Blue Devils took
the lead in the game at the
17:32 mark and never
relinquished it. Notching the
goal was Ian King from
Deleary. Giving London a
two goal lead at 18:23 was
Dustin Moynaugh with assists
to Brendan Beauvis and
Winter Dockstader. The In
Motion Pacers got one of those
back just 21 seconds later on a
Chris Theoret marker with
assists to Riley Thompson
and Jesse Thompson.

Sarnia - 12. London had the
only power play chances and were
0 for 2 this period.
2nd Period: The
Blue Devils would score three
times before Sarnia notched
their single during this 20
minutes of play. It began with
a Matt Cassidy goal at
the 39 seconds mark and picking
up the lone assist was Steve
Kewley. Then at 7:23 it was
Scott Watson scoring from
Winter Dockstader and
Matt Cassidy. An
unassisted, short-handed goal
was next and it came off the
stick of Ian King. At
this point Sarnia's Greg Krstic
was assess a five minute
slashing major and the Pacers
made a goaltender change to
Justin Matthews. Less than a
minute and a half later,
Chris Theoret picked off the
ball, charged down the floor and
bulged the netting for a
short-handed goal and got Sarnia
back to within three. It was as
close as the Pacers would get
for the rest of the game. Shots
on goal: London - 17/33
Sarnia - 8/20. London was 0 for
2 on the power play and Sarnia
was 0 for 1 with the man

3rd Period: Once
again London opened the scoring
with a goal at the 2:19 mark,
this one was a Kyle
Childerhose goal from
Dustin Deleary and Josh
Wilson. Sarnia's Mike
Butler replied with one six
seconds later to the delight of
the home crowd. Assisting on
the goal was Jesse Thompson.
A Josh Wilson goal at
7:24 completed the scoring for
the Blue Devils and picking up
assists were Ian King and
Steve Kewley. Sarnia's
final goal was almost four
minutes later and it was a
Riley Thompson goal from
Chris Theoret and Jahn
Budziewicz. During the last
2 or 3 minutes of the period,
Sarnia pulled their goalie for
an extra runner each time they
had possession of the ball in
London's end in an attempt to
get more on the board. Pacers'
Justin Matthews certainly got a
workout running back and forth
between the bench and his net.
