WHALERS 2 SPITS 0
Matt Mahalak stopped 35 pucks and the home side made two first period goals stand up, as the Whalers beat the Spitfires, 2-0, in front of 3,933 at the Compuware Arena in Plymouth on Saturday night.
Stefan Noesen and Jamie Devane scored in a four-minute span, as the Whalers moved within four points of London for top spot in the Western Conference.
Jaroslav Pavelka was outstanding in goal for the Spitfires, making 47 saves in a losing cause.
Trailing 2-0, the Spits had four power play chances in the second and third periods: including a lengthy 5-on-3 midway through the final 20, during which the Spits were unable to muster much more than a couple chances from the perimeter.
The loss keeps the Spits in seventh place in the Western Conference, two points up on both Sault Ste Marie and Guelph.
The Spits are right back at it on Sunday afternoon at 2pm, as Saginaw visits the WFCU Centre in a key four-point game. The Spirit sit sixth in the conference, four points up on Windsor (27-30-4-2).

Jordan Maletta, Nick Ebert and Jeff Braithwaite each had their fourth goals of the season, as the Spitfires 24-27-3-2) fired 41 shots at Matt Mahalak.

But Braithwaite replied just 2:13 later on Windsor's 7th PP of the night, tying the game at 3-3.

OHL - WHALERS 5 SPITS 1
(PLYMOUTH) The Whalers used two-goal efforts from Rickard Rackell and Jamie Devane to beat the Windsor Spitfires, 5-1, on Saturday night at the Compuware Arena.
Kerby Rychel scored his 30th goal of the season to spoil Scott Wedgewood's (34 saves) shutout bid late in the third period.
The game was contentious from the outset, featuring six fights and eight game misconducts.
Jaroslav Pavelka replaced starter John Cullen at 11:50 of the third period. Cullen was involved in an altertaction with Plymouth's Garret Meurs and both players were given misconducts - Cullen's a game and Meurs his second 10-minute misconduct of the night.
The Spits went just 1-FOR-8 on the power play.
We're right back at it Sunday afternoon at 2PM, as the Mississauga St Michael's Majors come calling.

Brady Vail had a pair of goals (3,4) and Kerby Rychel scored his team-leading eighth of the season, as the Spits claimed sole possession of first place in the West Division and the Western Conference.
Jack Campbell won his fifth game in six starts, making 37 saves.
Austin Levi gave the Whalers their only lead of the night at the mark of the first period.
Vail's second of the night squared things at 3-3 with a little more than two minutes to play in the middle 20.
In overtime, Plymouth 's Tom Wilson was hobbled after blocking a shot and losing his stick, but couldn't make it to the bench. That left Duininck uncovered at the right point. He took a feed from Adrian Robertson and blasted one past Scott Wedgewood, who took the loss in goal for Plymouth (25 saves).
The Spits are on the road this weekend, with stops in Erie on Saturday and Brampton on Sunday afternoon.

Spitfires - The Game That Never Was
In Play on Facebook
windsorspitfires.com staff reports
With the Plymouth Whalers and Spitfires It should have been the game of the year. But instead, it turned into the game that never was on a blustery Saturday night in Plymouth.
Jamie Devane scored twice, while James Livingston and Robbie Czarnik added a goal and two assists apiece, as Plymouth beat Windsor, 6-2, in front of 4,050 fans at the Compuware Sports Arena.
The win moves the Whalers back into fourth place in the Western Conference, a point up on the Spitfires.
The Spitfires (34-22-3-3) were up against it even before the game started here tonight. With Jack Campbell at home with a touch of the flu, John Cullen was penciled in as Windsor's starting goalie. But, already not feeling well on the short ride to Plymouth, Cullen suffered an injury in the warm-up.
That forced Michael Nishi to make his first start of the season, with no back-up in sight. And the 17-year-old didn't get much help off the start, as the Spits were whistled for three minor penalties in the first seven minutes.
The Whalers converted on two of those, on goals by Beau Schmitz and Jamie Devane to take an early 2-0 lead.
James Livingston's 21st of the year made it 3-0 Plymouth before the opening 20 minutes was done.
The teams traded goals in the second period before fight night got underway.
Nick Czinder, Craig Duininck and Saverio Posa all grabbed a partner after Posa was taken in awkwardly along the endboards in the Windsor zone by Garrett Meurs.
Czinder and Posa were ejected, along with Plymouth's Beau Schmitz and Mitchell Heard.
With the score 6-1 Plymouth, more fireworks erupted in the closing seconds of the second period, as Jake Carrick got tangled up with goalie Matt Mahalak.
Tom Kuhnhackl rounded out the scoring, on a 5-on-3 advantage in the third. His 36th of the season puts him alone in top spot among Spitfire skaters.
