The Spitfires added two more goals in the third period, while Sault Ste. Marie responded with one of its own, but couldn’t close the gap.
Windsor needed just one point to clinch the division, meaning they could have walked away with a win, or an overtime or shootout loss.
With the point, the spits will enter the playoffs as the second seed in the Western Conference, facing the Guelph Storm.
