Sting captain Ryan McGregor said it's always good to leave Budweiser Garden with two points. "I thought we played well and it was a good team win."

He said the the team's depth is really starting to kick in. "It's been showing obviously. "Hillsy's" (Theo Hill) line and "Berky's" (Marek Berka) line have been going. We're a pretty high potent scoring team and when you add those guys and they start chippin' in it's pretty tough for other teams."

The Sting host the Mississauga Steelheads Saturday at 4:05 p.m.

The pregame show starts at 3:35 p.m. on 103.9 FM - 1070 AM CHOK.
