Oshawa, On. - The Oshawa Generals' return to the TTC Sunday afternoon was spoiled with a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Guelph Storm, who sweep the two games between both squads this weekend.

Oshawa would kickstart the goal scoring with Lucas Texixeira walking out from behind the Guelph net and roofing it glove side past goaltender Colin Ellsworth. It was Texixeira's first preseason goal.

The 2nd period saw Guelph put two past Andrei Bondarev. The first came from Jaakko Wycisk, who stashed home a rebound right in the goal crease to tie the game at ones. Wycisk's goal was his third in four exhibition games played.

Guelph's second goal came towards the end of the frame as Rowen Topp crept in back door and snuck it through the legs of Bondarev on a cross-crease pass from Simon Belohorsky.

With the Storm taking a one-goal lead into the final 20, they would quickly add to it with Belohorsky picking up his second point of the game, snapping home a quick shot blocker side right off an offensive zone faceoff.

Later in the period, Guelph would add a fourth on the board off a terrific 'Tic-Tac-Toe' passing play between Mark Pape, Leo Serlin and Christopher Soares, who picked up this third of preseason.

With today's loss, Oshawa falls to 1-3-0-0 in exhibition while Guelph improves to 3-2-0-0.

Despite the loss, Generals' goaltender Bondarev had a strong performance between the pipes, stopping 38 of 42 Guelph shots. With an assist on the Texixeira goal, Jalen Lobo also picked up his fourth point in four preseason games.

The Generals wrap up their preseason next weekend with two more games against the Rangers in Kitchener September 12th at 7:00 pm and in Barrie against the Colts September 14th at 2:00 pm.

Oshawa's regular season kicks off on September 18th as the Generals head to North Bay to take on the Battalion, before returning home for the home opener on September 21st against the Kingston Frontenacs. For single-game tickets, click here.
