Second-year Petes forward Caden Taylor had a milestone, he skated in his 100th OHL game on the night.
It took over halfway through the period for the game’s first score but Soo made it count off a rebound as Owen Allard scored after a Marco Mignosa point shot. The Greyhounds were on the powe play shortly after and Travis Hayes off a cross-crease pass got it in the wide-open net for a 2-0 Soo lead to finish the first.
Things were not getting any better for the Petes in the second period. Jordan Charron, Allard (his second goal) and Justin Cloutier all scored before the stanza was halfway through to make it 5-0 for the Greyhounds.
Petes goaltender Easton Rye was pulled and Masen Johnston filled in for the duration of the game. It did not take long for the visiting Greyhounds to break in Johnston as 81 seconds after the Petes goalie change, Cloutier scored his second of the night going top shelf for a 6-0 Soo lead after two.
Peterborough was able to limit the damage in the third period as only Marco Mignosa scored for the Greyhounds for a 7-0 lead and that was the final score.
The Petes will stay at home when they host the Erie Otters on Saturday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the PMC.
