Game Results: Game vs Peterborough 'A' Team
On January 18th the Petes hosted the Peterborough Petes “A” team in their third and final game versus each other in the regular season.  So far, the “A” team had got the better of the Petes by winning both games previously played.  With the last game resulting in a 12-0 loss for the Petes.  However, since that game the Petes have improved their play and as a result recorded their second victory of the year over the Northumberland Nighthawks.  The rink was packed with spectators and the stage was set for a great game.

The first period started with the “A” team getting the puck deep into the Petes zone and getting an early offensive faceoff.  The “A” team then won the faceoff and scored a goal 30 seconds into the period to take a 1-0 lead.  This was the wakeup call the Petes needed as they stepped up their game and started to get their own scoring chances.  The Petes were also called upon to play some great defense as they kept the “A” team to the outside boards limiting them to low percentage scoring chances.  This great defensive positioning caused the “A” team to repeatedly turnover the puck which gave the Petes some great scoring opportunities.  The period was almost concluding when the “A” team would end up taking advantage of a loose puck in front of the Petes net and score to take a 2-0 lead into the second period.

The second period continued with he Petes frustrating the “A” team with their defensive play to the point when the “A” team were accessed a 2-minute penalty for “Clipping”.   The Petes powerplay would get it chance to go to work.  The Petes managed to get some great scoring chances on the powerplay but were unable to get a puck past the “A” team goalie.  Gaining a lot of confidence from the powerplay the Petes continued to apply pressure on the “A” team’s defense which resulted in their defense turning over the puck in their zone that led to quality scoring opportunities. However, on this night the opportunities didn’t translate to goals scored.  The Petes then would find themselves with a penalty of their own and the “A” team took full advantage and scored a powerplay goal to increase their lead to 3-0.  The second period would end, and the teams headed into intermission with that score.

The third period started with the Petes energized to finish the game strong.  On this evening the Petes did not back down from any of the challenges made by the “A” team.  The Petes battled hard to the final buzzer however on this night the Petes were not getting the bounces and the “A” team would end up scoring a couple more goals in the period and finish the game with a 5-0.

There was great improvement shown by the Petes on this night as they stepped up defensively and physically.  Way to go Petes!

The Petes next game is against the Oshawa Generals on Monday, January 23rd @ 8:00 PM at the Campus Arena.
