The Spitfires exploded for a jaw-dropping 11 goals on the night, with contributions up and down the lineup in what was a total team effort under head coach Greg Walters. Ethan Garden, Liam Greentree, and Cole Davis were named the three stars of the game \u2014 a fitting tribute to a night where nearly everyone in a Windsor sweater left their mark on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Guelph would opening the scoring on a penalty shot tally from Ethan Miedema.

The barrage began just 60 seconds into the frame when John McLaughlin beat a scrambling Zach Jovanovski, and goals from Garden, Alex Pharand, and Carson Woodall \u2014 the latter a power play marker \u2014 followed in rapid succession. Davis then added a shorthanded goal at 14:06 to cap an absolutely breathtaking middle period. Guelph was forced to pull Jovanovski after the fifth goal, but backup Colin Ellsworth couldn&#8217;t slow the bleeding either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Windsor kept their foot on the gas in the third, scoring four more times. Garden and Andrew Robinson struck just over a minute apart to push the lead to 9-2, Davis added his second of the night at 6:15, and Max Brocklehurst rounded out the scoring with the 11th goal late in the game. Tyler Hopkins added a consolation goal for the Storm at 18:13, but by that point the celebration was already well underway on the Windsor bench.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Joey Costanzo was steady as ever in goal for the Spitfires, turning aside 24 shots he faced across 60 minutes for his fourth win of the series.

The Spitfires now need just one more win to complete the sweep, with Game 4 set for Thursday night in Guelph.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">McLaughlin opened the scoring at 3:41 of the first period, finishing off a pretty setup from AJ Spellacy and Andrew Robinson to give Windsor the early lead. The Spitfires carried that 1-0 advantage through two periods of tight, physical hockey, with goaltender Joey Costanzo holding the fort against a desperate Storm squad.<\/p>\n<p>Guelph&#8217;s Rylan Singh looked to have the game-tying goal in the second period, but the Spitfires quickly challenged the goal for being offside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The third period was where things got interesting.
