The Sting broke it open in the second period with four goals and eventually added two more in the third. Brayden Hislop provided the offense for the Spirit in the second period with his fourth goal of the season in the defeat.

London: The Knights snapped their six-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Kitchener Rangers, in a first-round playoff preview, Wednesday night.
