Service Master Restore Atom AE Petes Earn Win on Back of Special Teams
The Service Master Restore Atom AE Petes were able to ride some strong special team play for a come from behind victory over the Northumberland Nighthawks on Wednesday night (Oct. 11).

It looked like the Thanksgiving weekend had taken an early toll on the Petes as they came out a little sluggish and found themselves trailing 1-0 after the first period. The Petes were able to capitalize on a power play opportunity early in the second when Cole Scanlan found the back of the net for his first of the game, but quickly found themselves in a hole as the Nighthawks netted a pair of goals mid period.

The Petes appeared ready to mount a comeback when Josh Watson scored to bring them within one, but it seemed that momentum would be vanquished when they took a late period penalty.  As it happens this Petes penalty kill would turn out to be the game changer, as Scanlan and Caeden Kent pinned the Nighthawks into their zone and Kent was able to score shorthanded on a wraparound with 1.8 seconds left on the clock and knot the game at 3 heading to the third.

The third period saw the Petes flash some dominance and pull ahead for good as Scanlan buried two more goals to complete the hat trick and Sam Dickey finished things off with a late period marker to give the Petes a 6-3 win.

Assists on the night went to Kent (2), Scanlan, Dickey, Watson, James Chandra, Jack Pacey and Tobey Skopelianos, while Adam Revak was named the hardest working player of the game.

Next up for the Petes is a Saturday afternoon home game against division rivals Whitby Wildcats.

The Petes would like to thank Chandra Katakkar Medicine as our sponsor of the week. This is probably the only sponsor that we hope you don’t have to take your business to, but if you do, know that you’ll be in good hands.
