The Saginaw Spirit swept the weekend and secured their second consecutive win in as many games following a 3-2 regulation victory over the Owen Sound Attack Saturday night. T.J. Brodie notched three points in the effort, one goal and two assists, while Barry Sanderson continued his scoring streak with his single goal against the Attack giving him three goals in two games. Goalie Anthony Peters faced a gauntlet of shots, posting 37 saves to earn the game's first star award. The Spirit return home undefeated in the opening weekend of the new season, with four points and a record of 2-0-0-0.
