PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes were in tough last night before the game even started as they hosted the number eight ranked team in all of Canada at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. Although it appeared to be a very mismatched affair before puck drop, the Petes were close on a couple of occasions to tying the game and forcing it into overtime. However, the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors showed why they are ranked so high as they capitalized on all of their chances to take the two points by a score of 6-3.
The maroon and white got started on the right foot as veteran forward Jack Walchessen finished off a great play by Justin Larson to get the Petes on the board. Mississauga would reply with two unanswered goals to end the period up 2-1.
The second period saw both teams capitalize once as the Majors maintained their one goal lead after forty minutes. Petes overage forward Pat Daley snapped a shot past the Majors' goaltender to give him nineteen on the season.
The Majors broke open the game in the third period as they added three more, one into the empty net, for the 6-3 final. The Petes third goal was reviewed after a Jamie Doornbosch shot hit the goal post and then bounced just over the goal line for his ninth of the year.
Next action for the Petes is tonight when they travel to Oshawa in another battle of the "115 Series", 7:30 PM at the General Motors Centre.
