Head-to-Head

Today marks the fifth of seven meetings this season between the Spirit and the Spitfires.

Last Time Out

Saginaw: On Saturday night, the Saginaw Spirit hosted the Sarnia Sting in the game where the Spirit were hoping to close in on the eighth and final playoff spot, currently held by the Sting. Sarnia jumped out to 5-0 lead, but Saginaw would score three straight goals in the third to put the pressure on Sarnia. Nolan DeGurse earned his first four-point game (2G, 2A) in his OHL career. Pavel Mintyukov (9), Ian Phillips (3), and Josh Bloom (21) scored for the Spirit in the 6-3 loss.

Windsor: Saturday evening, the Spitfires completed a home-and-home series with the West Division-leading Flint Firebirds at The Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan with a 3-2 shootout loss. Windsor did not trail in the game until Samuel Assinewai scored the shootout winner in the eighth round. Ryan Abraham (6) and New York Rangers prospect Will Cuylle (28) scored for the Spitfires. Windsor has earned at least one point in each of the last four games. They trail the Flint Firebirds by seven points and the second place Greyhounds by six heading into action today.
