PETERBOROUGH, ON - Pat Daley put on a show for all his fans at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa last night. Usually a quiet building when the hometown team is on the losing end, Daley had a large fan club that willed him to a hat trick in a 4-3 Peterborough Petes win over the rival Oshawa Generals.
The maroon and white got the game started quickly as Buckhorn native, Justin Larson scored just 1:36 in to the first frame. The Generals responded just three minutes later and Daley's first of three on the night was enough to give the Petes a 2-1 lead after twenty minutes.
The second period saw great scoring chances for both clubs as both goaltenders stood their ground between the pipes. However, Oshawa scored to even the game after two periods.
Daley scored his second of the night to break the 2-2 tie midway through the third period and the Generals responded with just 1:34 remaining in the game to send the game to an extra frame.
The Petes began the overtime on the power play as a penalty carried over from the end of the third period. Just as the penalty came to an end, Daley capitalized on a scramble in front of the net to slide the puck past Generals goaltender Michael Zador for the overtime victory.
Next action for the Petes is tonight when they visit the Niagara Ice Dogs at 7:00.
