Nikita Korostelev (3G, 1A) hit the scoresheet three times by the time the game was twelve minutes old, beating Spitfires starter Brendan Johnston (18 saves) twice, before setting up a Brett Hargrave goal at 11:46 that gave Sarnia a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
The line of Korostelev, Hargrave and Nikolay Goldobin was dominant, combining for 13 points on the night.
Stephen Janes had a pair of powerplay goals for the Spitfires, who dressed just 14 skaters, with eight regulars
away at NHL Rookie Camps.
The win gave Sarnia a sweep of a home-and-home set with the Spits.
The Spits wrap up their exhibition schedule on Friday, September 13th, as they play host to the Niagara IceDogs.
Gametime is 7:05.
