PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes looked as if they were in the driver's seat heading into the third period of tonight's game at the Memorial Centre. However a strong comeback, capped off by a shootout game winning goal by Jared Staal, saw the Petes fall by a 5-4 decision to the visiting Sudbury Wolves.
The Wolves came out of the gate flying as they got out to an early 2-0 lead before Petes' overage forward Pat Daley buried a beautiful pass from Ryan Spooner to cut the deficit to one.
The maroon and white continued to press throughout the second period as they scored another three unanswered goals by Adam Sedlak, Spooner, and Liam Heelis to get the Petes a 4-2 lead.
However, even though the Petes looked to be well on their way to another victory, the Wolves clawed back and tied the game with just over two minutes remaining in the game to force it to overtime.
The extra period solved nothing and the two teams would require a shootout. With his team in need of a goal, Daley snapped a shot over the Wolves goaltender and underneath the crossbar to even the shootout score. After two more players missed for either team, Jared Staal stepped over the blue line and fired a low wrist shot past goaltender Jason Missiaen for the win.
Next action for the Petes is tomorrow night when they travel to Kitchener to take on the Rangers.
