The Storm led 2-1 after the first period — Sandis Vilmanis put the Sting on the board with a feed from Cooper Way — before the Sting fired back with five unanswered goals in the second period, from Sasha Pastujov, Mitch Young (his first career OHL goal), Nolan Burke, Easton Wainwright and Vilmanis with his second of the night.
