Stephen Johnston scored twice and earned first-star honours, while Jack Campbell was solid in goal, making 26 saves for the victory.
Jake Carrick and Tom Kuhnhackl had the other goals for the Spitfires (32-21-2-3), who moved two points ahead of the idle Plymouth Whalers for fourth place in the Western Conference.
