The Erie Otters opened the 2026 schedule Saturday night at home but came up short against the Windsor Spitfires, falling 4–1 at the Erie Insurance Arena.
Windsor scored first late in the opening period and then broke the game open in the second with three unanswered goals, including a power-play tally, to take a 4–0 lead after two periods. Erie got on the board midway through the third on a goal by Gabriel Frasca, but the Otters could not generate a comeback. Windsor goaltender Joey Costanzo turned aside Erie chances down the stretch as the Spitfires closed out the win.
Shots were nearly even, with Windsor holding a 26–24 edge.
The Otters hit the road next for a three-game trip, beginning Thursday with a rematch against Windsor, followed by games in Sarnia and London. Erie returns home January 16 for its final home meeting of the season with the Spitfires.
