The scoring started from a Peterborough native but not from the Petes. Steelheads Porter Martone got the puck out in front on a wide-open net and buried it home for a 1-0 lead as the period’s only score.

Brampton scored the following two goals just 6:06 into the period for a 3-0 lead. Peterborough finally got on the board as they had an odd-man rush. Francis Parish took the shot but was saved by the pad. Gavin Bryant pounced on the rebound and scored the Petes’s first goal. Unfortunately for Peterborough, a pair of Aidan Lane goals hit the board and the Petes found themselves in a 5-1 deficit after two periods.

Parish got his second point of the night as he was the only Pete on the rush and snapped it at the high slot to make it 5-3. Brampton scored just six minutes later to restore their four-goal lead. Quinton Pagé squeezed out one more goal for Peterborough in the final two minutes in regulation but it was too little, too late and the Petes fell 6-3 to the Steelheads.

The Petes travel to Kingston to take on the Frontenacs this Friday at 7 p.m. at Slush Puppie Place.
