The Guelph Storm put nearly 40 shots on the opposition’s net but it was not enough as the Sarnia Sting picked up a 5-3 victory on Wednesday night at the Sleeman Centre.
The Sting scored two goals quickly before Ben McFarlane split the lead in half at 10:20 of the first period. But Sarnia would get two more before the opening frame ended and did not look back.
