The IceDogs toughest road trip of the year is proving to be just that after a second straight Michigan loss 5-1 in Saginaw. The Dogs were short both their most experienced overage players in Aaron Haydon and Ryan Mantha.
Down two after the first, Josh Dame buried his first OHL goal in the middle period to narrow the gap 2-1. The undermanned visitors were no match for the Spirit in the third surrendering three unanswered.
The challenge continues with a quick Sunday turnaround in Sarnia. The pre-game on 610 CKTB gets underway at 1:30.
