PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes will go into the Christmas break on a high note after beating the visiting Ottawa 67's by a 4-2 decision tonight at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. The Petes will now have a twelve day lay off before returning to home ice on New Years Eve.
The maroon and white came out looking to avenge the 8-0 loss they suffered at the hands of the same 67's last night in Ottawa. They got off to a nice start as they scored the lone goal of the first period when overage defenceman Chris Breen slid the puck past the Ottawa goaltender for the 1-0 lead.
Both teams got on the board in the second period as the 67's responded with an early goal and the Petes restored their one goal lead when David Quesnele put a shot in the top corner of the Ottawa net before the 67's replied once again to draw the two teams even after two periods of play.
The third period was dominated mostly by the Petes as captain Zack Kassian broke out of his scoring drought with two assists on goals by Liam Heelis and Pat Daley to give the maroon and white the 4-2 win.
Next action for the Petes is December 31st when they play host to the Belleville Bulls at 6:00PM.
