SARvsBAR | Game Preview
The Sting return home to the Progressive Auto Sales Arena for their final game of a 3-in-3. Sarnia looks to lock up a possible 4 out of 6 points when they face off against the Barrie Colts. They will look to use the momentum from last nights 5-4 win over Niagara as they go for their second straight win. There should be plenty of energy in the building as the 2016 West Division Championship banner will be raised to honor last years record breaking season. The puck drops tonight at 7:05pm. Tickets
