Generals aim to close another undefeated weekend against Spitfires

Oshawa, Ont., – The Oshawa Generals continue their homestand as they take on the Windsor Spitfires.

The Gens are playing some of their best hockey of the season, bouncing back from having the team’s five-game win streak snapped. Oshawa has won their last two home games by a combined score of 15-3, beating the Kingston Frontenacs 8-2 and the Peterborough Petes 7-1.

The Spitfires enter this game with the second-lowest number of points in the Ontario Hockey League. Windsor are 3-4-2-1 in their last ten games and have allowed the most goals against in the league.

This is the second of two matchups these teams will play this season. The first was a road game for the Gens that they won 6-3.

It was the Spitfires scoring first in that one, but Oshawa would tie it later in the first when Connor Lockhart picked up a blocked shot and fired it into the net.

After Windsor took the lead again, in the second period, Calum Ritchie would make a nice move to get around the Spitfires’ defenceman before sliding it to Lockhart for an easy goal. The Gens would get their first lead of the game, as it was Luca D’Amato on the powerplay snapping one under the bar, making it 3-2 Gens.

Windsor would tie it up a little later, but after a pair of Oshawa goals from Matthew Buckley and Ritchie, it was Connor Lockhart completing the hat trick, shooting the puck from his own end into the empty net.

Beckett Sennecke: The draft-eligible winger is coming off a career-best five-point game, in which he had two goals and three assists. Sennecke is currently riding a four-game point streak where the Toronto, Ont., native has four goals and a pair of helpers.

Liam Greentree: Leading the Windsor Spitfires in all three scoring categories with 24 goals and 33 assists for 57 points this season. The winger had his 10-game point streak snapped against the Brantford Bulldogs over that stretch he picked up 18 points.
