PETERBOROUGH, ON - Just when all the fans counted them out, the Peterborough Petes kicked their game into another gear as they overcame another big injury and beat the visiting Ottawa 67's 3-1. Overage forward Pat Daley fell victim to the injury bug as he missed tonight's game with an undisclosed injury.The Petes controlled the play in the first period scoring two goals on just eight shots. Matt Puempel showed his hand-eye coordination when he tipped in a shot from Adrian Robertson for the opening tally of the game. Overage forward Brett Theberge scored on a deflection of his own to close out the first period as he tipped in a bad angle shot by Mike Lomas for the 2-0 lead.
Both teams exchanged chances in the second period but neither team was able to beat the opposing goaltenders.
The third period was all 67's for the most part as they broke Jason Missiaen's shutout on a Corey Cowick power play goal. However, a four minute head butting penalty by Cody Lindsay sealed the deal for the Petes as the "Buckhorn Bandit" Justin Larson scored into the empty net for the 3-1 final.
The Petes will now have a well deserved Sunday off before they get back to work this week for their next game Thursday night, 7:00 PM at the Peterborough Memorial Centre against the Kingston Frontenacs.
