Despite a great performance by Sarnia goalie Kale Osipenko, the Sting lost to the North Bay Battalion 2-0 on Thursday.
Osipenko saved 40 shots on net.
It was a scoreless first period. But Arseny Pronin scored for North Bay in the second, and the Battalion took their insurance goal during a power play on an empty net.
The Sting will continue their northern road trip with a stop in Sudbury on Friday.
Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m. You can hear the game live on Big Country 1039.
Ahead of Thursday's game, the Sting announced a trade that sent Brenner Lammens to the Owen Sound Attack in exchange for draft picks and forward Jake Crawford.
