3/22 Recap: Schiestel points in loss

In Sunday OHL play, Drew Schiestel had an assist as Niagara failed to earn the road sweep in a 6-2 loss to Ottawa. The defenseman has a point in each playoff game, and 14 in 16 career postseason appearances, after notching just eight in his final 20 regular season contests, including a five game stretch of zeros to close the season. With the series tied at one, the clubs will resume their first round series on Tuesday in St. Catherines. Nick Crawford finished -1 as Saginaw edged Guelph, 3-2. The back-and-forth contest saw the teams compile a total of 85 shots on goal (44-41). The Spirit take a 2-0 series lead to Guelph on Tuesday.
