McGinn scores early to lead Ottawa to first win, 4 1 over Kingston

Jamie McGinn's early goal for Ottawa sent the 67's a clear message _ relax.

McGinn led Ottawa to its first win of the season, a 4-1 win over the Kingston Frontenacs in Ontario Hockey League action Sunday.

He scored just 19 seconds into the game and later added a power-play goal.

``It's a little more relaxing in the (dressing) room now,'' McGinn said. ``We were starting to get nervous before the games. We wanted to make sure we came out hard right from the get-go and it's good we got a goal right off the bat.''

Elsewhere in OHL action Sunday, it was: Toronto 5, Sudbury 4; Sarnia 6, Sault Ste. Marie 3; and Guelph 5, Kitchener 3.

At Ottawa, Jakub Vojta and Jesse Biduke also scored for the 67's (1-2-0-0), who avenged a 9-5 opening-night loss at Kingston nine days earlier.

Kingston (2-1-0-1), playing its first road game of the year, suffered its first regulation loss, which spoiled the return of new coach Bruce Cassidy to Ottawa where he starred as a player for the 67's.

Chris Stewart had the Frontenacs' lone goal during a 5-on-3 power play and Darryl Borden made 37 saves, including a penalty shot stop on Kiriakou in the third period.

Majors 5, Wolves 4

At Toronto, Matt Caria scored the game winner at 19:05 of the third period as the Majors squeaked by Sudbury.

Sting 6, Greyhounds 3

At Sarnia, Ont., Ryan Wilson registered two goals and an assist as the Sting beat Sault Ste. Marie.

Storm 5, Rangers 3

At Guelph, Ont., Rafael Rotter scored two goals as the Storm downed Kitchener.
