(BARRIE, ON) Joseph Blandisi had two goals and an assist, leading the Colts to a 7-4 win over the Spitfires at the Molson Centre on Saturday night.
Tied at 1-1 after 20 minutes, the Colts scored three times in the second period (Matthew Kreis, Blandisi and Andrew Mangipane) to take a 4-2 lead after two periods.
The Spitfires got close in the third, as Cristiano DiGiacinto wipped a sweeping wrist shot from the corner, past Daniel Gibl (24 saves) at 13:34 of the third period, cutting the home side's lead to 5-4.
But that's as close as the Spits got, as Garrett Hooey (3) and Blandisi (9) each scored into an empty net, in a span of 34 seconds, to seal the win.
Trevor Murphy (2) and Graeme Brown (1) had the other goals for Windsor (3-5-0-0), which failed to reach the .500 mark for the fourth time this season.
Josh Ho-Sang chipped in a pair of assists in a losing cause, while Alex Fotinos made 28 saves.
