The Spitfires had a game plan to shut down Nail Yakupov and the Sting and executed it to perfection on Sunday afternoon.

Kerby Rychel and Alexander Khokhlachev took care of the offense, with a goal and an assist each, and Jack Campbell was outstanding in net, making 28 saves for the shutout in a 2-0 win over Sarnia.

It was Windsor's first win of the year, after two disappointing losses to Guelph and Kitchener.

The Spits got on the board on the power play in the first, as Rychel tipped home a KoKo wrister from the right circle, to make it 1-0 Spits. The two combined again with the man advantage in the second. Rychel spotted KoKo at the right post from behind the net and fed him a perfect pass to put the Spitfires up 2-0.

It was all the offense they would need, as Jack Campbell stymied the high-powered Sting offense time and time again.

The Spits are back at it Thursday night, when they host the Saginaw Spirit at the WFCU Centre at 7:05.
