Kerby Rychel’s second goal of the game proved to be the winner, as the Windsor Spitfires knocked off another powerful Western Conference club on Thursday night, in a 3-2 win over Saginaw.

Alexander Khokhlachev assisted on both of Rychel’s goals and Jack Campbell was outstanding again in goal, making 29 saves in the win.

The Spits fell behind 2-0 early, as John McFarland capitalized on two different turnovers.

The lead held up after 20 minutes, but Rychel got the Spits on the board on the PP at 6:34 of the second, on a nifty three-way passing play with Khokhlachev and Adrian Robertson. 

The Spits tied the game in the first minute of the third period, on Brady Vail’s first of the season.

That set the stage for Rychel’s dramatic winner at 16:30.
