Zack Kassian was dominant on Sunday night, scoring a goal in each period as the Spitfires took a 5-0 win over the Saginaw Spirit in Game Six of the Western Conference semifinal.

The victory gave Windsor a 4-2 series win, and punched its ticket back to the Rogers Western Conference final for a third straight year, where they will face the top seeded Owen Sound Attack.

Kassian and Alexander Khokhlachev scored power play goals in the first period, staking the home side to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Kass was back at it in the second; this time scoring on a breakaway for his fourth of the playoffs, to make it 3-0.

By the time Jeff Brown extended the lead to 4-0 at 14:39, the Spits had what they needed.

Kassian completed the hat trick with an unassisted goal at 6:31 of the third period.

Jack Campbell made 25 saves for his second shutout of the series.

The Spitfires set a modern day record for most consecutive series wins tonight, with 10. The previous record was held by the Peterborough Petes.
