Matt Mahalak stopped 35 pucks and the home side made two first period goals stand up, as the Whalers beat the Spitfires, 2-0, in front of 3,933 at the Compuware Arena in Plymouth on Saturday night.

Stefan Noesen and Jamie Devane scored in a four-minute span, as the Whalers moved within four points of London for top spot in the Western Conference.

Jaroslav Pavelka was outstanding in goal for the Spitfires, making 47 saves in a losing cause.

Trailing 2-0, the Spits had four power play chances in the second and third periods: including a lengthy 5-on-3 midway through the final 20, during which the Spits were unable to muster much more than a couple chances from the perimeter.

The loss keeps the Spits in seventh place in the Western Conference, two points up on both Sault Ste Marie and Guelph.

We're right back at it on Sunday afternoon, as Saginaw visits the WFCU Centre in a key four-point game. The Spirit sit sixth in the conference, four points up on Windsor (27-30-4-2).
