Jacob Maillet scored the game winner in overtime as the Windsor Spitfires beat Saginaw 6-5 Wednesday night at a packed WFCU Centre. "Everytime you think you're down these guys find a way. I'm real proud of them." said head coach Marc Savard.
Oliver Peer scored a pair of goals and captain Matthew Maggio scored his 50th of the season to become the first since Steve Ott to crack the milestone since 2001. "I've been trying my best not to think about it but I think it's just a huge relief." Maggio said.
The win along with a 7-4 London loss at Guelph Wednesday leaves the Spitfires in sole possession of first place in the Western Conference after 63 games. Windsor heads to the Soo for a back-to-back starting Friday against the Greyhounds. They are back home next Wednesday against the Storm.
Essex County Connection:
Maggio scored his 50th on the same night Tim Findlay got his in the Soo back in 1996.
