FLINT, Mich. - Alex DeBrincat had two goals and an assist and Dylan Strome added four helpers as the Erie Otters downed the Flint Firebirds 5-2 on Thursday in Ontario Hockey League action.
Flint was playing its first game with assistant general manager Joe Stefan and former Plymouth Whalers star Pat Peake serving as coaches. The OHL suspended Firebirds owner Rolf Nilsen earlier Thursday, a day after the team fired its coaching staff for the second time this season.
Kyle Maksimovich, Darren Raddysh and Taylor Raddysh also scored for the Otters (43-10-1).
Ryan Moore and Connor Sills found the back of the net for the Firebirds (16-32-6), who have just two wins in their last 20 games.
Erie's Jake Lawr made 17 saves for the win as Kyle Keyser turned away 26-of-31 shots for Flint.
The Otters went 1 for 3 on the power play while the Firebirds scored once on five chances with the man advantage.
Flint head coach and general manager John Gruden and assistant coach Dave Karpa were let go on Wednesday by Nilsen, leading to his suspension.
