The Mohawks narrowed the gap to 8-6 by the end of the second before the teams netted two goals apiece in the third.

The Mohawks outshot the Clippers 63-55 and went 2-for-7 on their power play while Windsor was scoreless on two power plays.
Nathan Whitton was tagged with the loss in net for Elora as he had 45 saves while Windsor’s Chase Cosgrove, who had two assists, stopped 55 shots to get the win.
Elora leads the Western Conference at 10-1-0 while Windsor is fourth at 6-2-0.
The loss by Elora means no Western Conference team is unbeaten. However, there are two unbeaten teams in the Eastern Conference – the Nepean Knights at 9-0-0 and Orangeville Northmen at 7-0-0.
The Mohawks have a pair of games this week as they’re to play the London Blue Devils (0-9-0) in London Friday at 8 p.m. and host the Hamilton Bengals (7-2-0) Sunday at 7 p.m.
