John Chartrand worked hard to earn the Barrie Colts a rare win on Saturday night.

Chartrand made 42 saves to lead Barrie to a 2-1 victory over the Brampton Battalion in Ontario Hockey League action.

The Colts' last win also came at home against the Battalion on Jan. 6. It was also the first time this season that Barrie won a game after being tied through one period in 15 opportunities.

Brampton out shot the Colts 43-22, including an 18-4 spread in the final frame, but were unable to beat Chartrand save for MacLeod's first-period marker.

There were just two power plays per team on the evening, and both went 0-for-2 with the man advantage.

Including last season's playoffs, Barrie has now won seven of its past eight contests at home against the Battalion.

Cody St. Jacques turned aside 20 shots for Brampton in defeat.

Elsewhere in the OHL it was: Ottawa 3 Kingston 2; Mississauga 5 Peterborough 2; Sudbury 7 Guelph 6; Plymouth 4 Oshawa 0; Niagara 5 Saginaw 4; Owen Sound 6 Erie 3 and Sault Ste. Marie 7 Belleville 0.

At Barrie, Ont., Brandon Devlin scored his first career OHL goal and Colin Behenna had the winner for the Colts (9-35-4), who snapped a nine-game losing streak.

Matt MacLeod responded for Brampton (20-21-6), which has won just one of its past six contests.
