KINGSTON SNAPS PLYMOUTH’S FOUR-GAME WINNING STREAK IN 5-2 VICTORY

PLYMOUTH – Detroit Red Wing draft Cory Emmerton scored two goals and an assist, while captain Chris Stewart scored the game-winning goal and added an assist as the Kingston Frontenacs defeated the Plymouth Whalers, 5-2, in an Ontario Hockey League game played Saturday night before 3,563 at the Compuware Sports Arena.

Plymouth is now 12-10-0-0, in third place in the OHL West. Kingston – which won all three games on a road trip through Windsor, Sarnia and Plymouth this weekend – improves to 10-10-2-1.

Dan Collins scored both Whaler goals and now has nine on the season. Nathan Moon and Matthew Kang scored the other Kingston goals.

Collins scored at 5:45 of the first period to give Plymouth its’ only lead of the game when he tipped Tom Sestito’s shot from the right wing past Kingston goaltender Jason Guy. But the Frontenacs tied the game at 1-1 when Moon scored on his own rebound on a power play at 11:41 of the first period and Kang scored a shorthanded goal at 17:44 of the period to give Kingston a 2-1 lead after twenty minutes of play.

Stewart scored the eventual game-winner for Kingston on a shorthanded effort at 10:54 of the second period when he took Emmerton’s pass from the left wing in the Plymouth zone, cut in front of Plymouth goaltender Jeremy Smith, and scored on a severe angle shot from the right wing for his 13^th goal of the season.

Collins came back from Plymouth to cut the Kingston lead to 3-2 at 16:55 of the period when he took Chris Terry’s pass from the left point and beat Guy with a back hand shot from between the hashmarks in the Kingston zone.

But Emmerton scored the only two goals of the third period at 3:21 and 17:26 respectively as Kingston pulled away for the victory.

Kingston outshot Plymouth, 32-24.
