While the 1st 8-10 minutes of the game wasn't pretty Erie had the game's 1st 4 or 5 shots,after that only 17 or 18,while the Spits had 36 plus 3 right of the post,nice comeback win coming back 2 down in the 3rd to win in OT on a highlight marker by Wyatt Johnston .
Erie's 2 goals were on the PP,otherwise they were rarely dangerous and when they were Medina was solid,2 solid outings for Medina this week,allowing only 4 goals and 2 were PP goals,special teams continue to struggle 0-5 on the PP,2 PP goals by Erie however on their PP,Windsor did score a shorty by Cuylle, after a great win on the draw by Abraham.
20 seconds or later Cuylle was initially credited with his 2nd of the night,went off a leg goal eventually given to the passer Abraham, from Miedema and Sobolev,which was changed post game.
Like I wrote earlier Johnston with the highlight goal of the night,one handed past Lalonde who was all night for Erie.
1st time all season Spits have won 2 straight,they are 3-1 in their last 4,
4-2-0-1 in their last 7,Medina who started the season allowing 5 against Sarnia opening night in less then 2-1/2 periods has only allowed 11 in his last, 4 appearances, and 5 were in one game at Owen Sound,his record 2-1-0-1 in that stretch and a 2.75 goals average against much improved since the 4 game mark of the season.
His record when he allows 2 or less in regulation is 3-0-0-2,and 0-3 when not,though all losses he has allowed 5.
Always say sometimes you paint a masterpiece and sometimes you paint a barn,last night's closer to a barn,but there have been a number of games where 2 points should have had,the 2 shootout losses come to mind,the way the game goes.
Not sure if Windsor took them lightly at the beginning cant make that mistake too often.
Still looking for Henault and D'amico to contribute more offensively, Henault just 1 point in his last 4,and he is not known for his defensive acumen,while Daniel D'amico has only 1G,6A through 11,7 forwards have more goals then him.
A few real good hits last night,couple from Sobolev, McDonald, as well as a nice one by Nathan Ribau,who I think has been very solid since arriving from Sudbury for Dylan Robinson
In 7 games he has 1G,1A and is a 0 in the plus minus,while Robinson was -6 in the 4 games he played here before being dealt.
Should mention Spits have scored 28 goals in their last 7 games,18 in their last 4.
Ist 4 games of the season they scored 10,have come around, PP not withstanding , nicely goal wise.
