Generals Outlast Petes in Overtime

PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes saw their undefeated streak against the Oshawa Generals come to a close tonight as they dropped a 4-3 overtime decision at the General Motors Centre.

The first period saw a total of four goals on just twenty-one shots combined as the Generals held a 3-1 lead after twenty minutes. Scoring for the Petes was overage forward Brett Theberge who capped off a nice setup by captain Zack Kassian.

Both teams traded chances in the second frame but neither team could solve either goaltender.

The Petes put up a valiant effort in the third period as rookie sensation Matt Puempel scored a goal and added an assist on Ryan Spooner's tally that tied the game at 3 apiece.

After receiving a power play in the extra frame the Generals capitalized on a miscue at the blue line that led to the game winning short handed tally by Boone Jenner after a beautiful passing play with Team Canada defenceman Calvin de Haan who was playing in his first game since returning from Saskatoon where he captured a silver medal.

Next action for the Petes is Thursday, January 14th when they play host to the Belleville Bulls, 7:00 PM at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
