PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes have officially hit hard times. Still attempting to replace the scoring touch lost due to recent injuries, the Petes could not capitalize on several good scoring chances despite some great puck control and strong effort by the remaining players. The Petes have no dropped four straight as they dropped tonight's game to the Belleville Bulls 3-1.
The Bulls scored the lone goal of the first period when Andy Bathgate capped off a perfect tic-tac-toe passing play and slid the puck past Petes' goaltender Jason Missiaen for the 1-0 lead after one period.
The second period looked much like the first as the Bulls again scored the lone goal of the frame. This time it was Kyle DeCoste putting a wrist shot past Missiaen on a 3-on-1 break.
The maroon and white trimmed the lead to one as overage forward Brett Theberge slid the puck out front of the net and veteran Mike Lomas chipped it home. However it was not meant to be tonight as the Bulls' Richard Panik snapped a shot over Missiaen's shoulder for the 3-1 final despite late pressure by the Petes.
Next action for the Petes is tomorrow night when they travel to Kingston to take on the Frontenacs.
