PETERBOROUGH, ON - After a tough week of practice, the Peterborough Petes came out of the gate flying to take a commanding 7-3 decision over the visiting Sarnia Sting at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
The first period was all Petes as Sting goaltender Adam Courchaine held his team in the game, at one point facing fourteen shots straight. However, it was rookie Matt Puempel who got the maroon and white on the board off what appeared to be a bounce off the netting at the end of the rink that went undetected. The Sting replied quickly before Pat Daley set up sophomore forward Ryan Spooner for his tenth of the season to give the Petes the lead heading into the dressing room.
The second frame remained all Petes as they took a commanding 4-1 lead on goals by Joey "WestJet" West, Jamie Doornbosch before the Sting replied. "Jumping Jack Flash", Jack Walchessen, restored the Petes three goal lead as he snapped a shot past Courchaine top shelf to make the score 5-2 at the end of the second period.
The maroon and white closed out the game on a strong note as Joey West scored his second of the game on a weird bounce in front of the Sarnia goal and Puempel notched his second of the game into the empty net to make the final 7-3.
Next action for the Petes comes Saturday night when they travel to Barrie to take on the Colts.
