Petes Split Weekend Games

PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes recovered nicely from a 5-4 home loss to the Kingston Frontenacs when they beat the rival Oshawa Generals 6-3 last night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.

Thursday night's game saw the Petes come out of the gate flying but they were unable to beat Frontenacs' goalie Tyler Beskorowany for the early lead. Four straight goals by the Frontenacs, including a short-handed marker, gave Kingston enough of a lead that they would hang on despite the maroon and white pulling within one goal twice.

Last night's game started much the same as Thursday's as the Petes came out with a lot of energy. However this time they would solve Oshawa goaltender Michael Zador twice for the early 2-0 lead which they would never let go of as they hung on for the 6-3 win.

Matt Puempel and Justin Larson led the offense as they both notched five points in just the two games. Jason Missiaen was in goal for both games.

Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they play host to the Barrie Colts, 7:00 PM at the Memorial Centre. Thursday is the much anticipated "Pink in the Rink" night. Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
