Otters Outlast Sting in Erie

The Sting score a pair late but lose 4-2 to the Erie Otters.

Erie scored twice in the first period and added two more in the second to open a convincing 4-0 lead through 40 minutes.

Alex DeBrincat scored his league leading 17th goal of the season in the Erie win.

The third period was by far Sarnia's best. Josh Jacobs picked up his first OHL goal and Brandon Lindberg scored with just seven seconds remaining to highlight a strong period for Sarnia.

After losing both games this weekend Sarnia travels to Owen Sound on Wednesday, before hosting Flint on Friday and Saginaw on Sunday.
