Peterborough Petes Still Searching For First Win After 2-1 Shootout Loss to Niagara IceDogs
/The Petes are still searching for their first win as they fell to the Central Division-leading Niagara IceDogs in a 2-1 shootout loss at the Peterborough Memorial Centre on Tuesday night.
The scoring did not start until the final minute of the first period. Ethan Czata was able to jam the puck, which was caught in Petes’ goaltender Zach Bowen’s pad, to make it 1-0 for Niagara.
Peterborough retaliated over halfway through the second period. The Petes intercepted the puck in the neutral zone and immediately had an odd-man rush. The puck was passed to Brennan Faulkner and he beat the IceDogs goalie short side for his first career OHL goal and a 1-1 tie.
With no goals in the third period and overtime, the game had to be decided on a shootout.
Shootout results:
PBO - Caden Taylor (No Goal)
NIAG - Kevin He (No Goal)
PBO - Nico Addy (No Goal)
NIAG - Andrei Loshko (No Goal)
PBO - Jonathan Melee (No Goal)
NIAG - Ryan Roobroeck (Goal)*
