Petes Hang Tough But Fall Short to Majors

PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes saw their record fall to 6-4 tonight at the hands of the Mississauga St. Michael's Major in front of 1,412 fans at the Hershey Centre. The Petes finish the first ten game stretch of the season a very respectable 6-4 despite what critics may have predicted.

The first period saw both teams exchange chances and both goalies stand tall to keep the teams scoreless through twenty minutes. Petes' goaltender Jason Missiaen and Majors' goaltender Chris Carozzi stopped nine and five shots respectively.

The second frame was much of the same. However, the Majors capitalized on one chance, 5:22 into the period on a shorthanded goal by Jordan Mayer, firing a wrist shot high over top of Missiaen's blocker.

The third period had the Petes come close to tieing the game several times although Chris Carozzi stood his ground and walked away with the shutout. The Majors scored once in the third on a power play goal by Rob Flick.

The Petes' Jason Missiaen captured third star honours along with Diller's Digger of the Game.

The Petes next action comes next Thursday when they host the Guelph Storm, 7:00 PM at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. This game may mark the return of Peterborough native David Searle to the Storm lineup as he is recovering from a shoulder injury.
