PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes showed what they are made of tonight as they beat the Sudbury Wolves 5-3 at the Sudbury Community Arena in Sudbury.
Playing their third game in three nights, without captain Zack Kassian in the lineup and losing Matt Puempel to an undisclosed injury, the maroon and white persevered with a strong team effort against a tough Sudbury squad.
The first period was dominated in large part by the Petes as sophmore defenceman Adam Sedlak blasted a shot from the point that beat Wolves goaltender Alain Valiquette. With the score tied 1-1, Buckhorn native Justin Larson tapped home a rebound to give the Petes a 2-1 lead heading in to the dressing room.
The second frame looked identical to the first as the Petes outshot the Wolves 33-23 through two periods with Joey West and Pat Daley scoring to give the maroon and white a 4-2 advantage heading towards the final period of play.
Both teams exchanged chances in the third period as both goalies shut the door for fourteen minutes of play until Jared Staal scored on the powerplay for the Wolves to bring them within one. However, his efforts were erased as overage forward Brett Theberge scored in to the empty net to make the final 5-3 for the Petes.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday, October 8th when they play host to the Erie Otters, 7:00 PM at the Memorial Centre. Also, don't forget to check back throughout the day Monday as we announce the Ricky's All Day Grill Petes Player of the week.
