Fresh off a big overtime win in Erie on Saturday night, the Spits were looking to start fast and play a full 60 minutes in Game 3 at the WFCU Centre.
Turns out they did both tonight.
Leading 3-2 after 40 minutes, the Spitfires scored three times in a 1:02 span of the third period, on their way to a convincing 6-2 win over the Erie Otters. The victory gives the Spits a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 Western Conference quarter-final series.
Jeff Brown, Brady Vail and Kenny Ryan put the game out of reach, chasing Erie starter Ramis Sadikov.
Ryan Ellis, Stephen Johnston and Jake Carrick had the other Windsor goals, while Jack Campbell was outstanding once again - looking confident all night long and making 30 saves for the win.
Mike Cazzola and Shawn Szydlowski scored for Erie.
Game Four goes Wednesday night in Erie.
