PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes earned just one point in their two games this weekend. Taking on the second ranked teams in either conference, the London Knights and Ottawa 67's, the Petes managed to force the Knights to a shootout before falling victim to a very talented London squad before traveling to the Nation's Capital this afternoon and dropping a 5-2 decision.
In last night's meeting with London, Mike Lomas, Brett Theberge, Jack Walchessen, Justin Larson, and Lomas' second of the night was enough to force the extra frame against the Knights. Rookie goaltender Andrew D'Agostini played well in between the pipes despite allowing five goals in regulation. It took the Knights six rounds in the shootout to finally put the Petes away in what was the best full effort by the maroon and white this season.
Today the Petes ran out of gas. Playing in the second of back-to-back games, Matt Puempel and Liam Heelis tallied for the maroon and white and Jason Missiaen was steady in goal.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they take on the Niagara Ice Dogs at the Peterborough Memorial Centre before heading off to Guelph and Owen Sound to close out their Western Conference play for the 2009-10 season.

I was thrilled to see D'Agostini get his start on Thursday. Something that I think has been long coming and unfortunate that it took this long.
ReplyDeleteAndrew finally got a well needed chance between the pipes and it is great that the rookie was able to assist in the team getting a point in so many recent unsucessful games!
