Windsor Spitfires News Release


The Spitfires were looking to get back into the win column after suffering a loss last time out. The Spitfires travelled to Owen Sound on Friday ahead of the matchup on Saturday.

In the first period, both teams would have a feeling out process. It was a tightly contested period as the Spitfires were able to muster 12 shots to the Attack's 11. The Attack would break the deadlock in the final quarter of the period as Jordan would score his third of the season with 3:40 left in the frame. The Spitfires had a powerplay opportunity in the period but could not convert.

In the second frame, the Spitfires would strike just 30 seconds in to tie the game at one. Peer scored his 19th from Zhugin. Just over 12 minutes later, the Spitfires would get their first lead of the game. Outwater got the puck to Walton who go the puck to Smith who would score his 5th of the season. The Spitfires would lead 2-1 on the scoreboard and 33-17 in shots.

In the third period, the Spitfires would see some adversity as the Attack would score 2 goals in 1:36 to take a 3-2 lead. Six minutes later, the Spitfires would respond as Abraham scored his 9th on the year to tie the game at three. We were headed to OT.

In the overtime frame, the Spitfires netminder Costanzo made a fantastic save to keep it tied. The Spitfires fired three shots while the Attack had 5. We were off to a shootout.

In the shootout, Greentree would score first, followed by a Deni Goure goal for the Attack. The next five shooters would miss (Peer and Davis for WSR and Guindon, Burroughs and Waddick for OS). The 4th shooter was Zhugin for the Spitfires and he would go in and make no mistake as George would get a piece of it but not all of it. The Spitfires would take this one by a final score of 4-3 (SO) and gain 2 crucial points ahead of the Christmas break.

After Christmas, the Spitfires are headed to Mississauga on the 28th for a matchup with the Steelheads. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05pm.
