The Petes drew first blood nearly halfway through the first period as Tommy Purdeller got a pass from his end after a Liam Stutzka save. The forward took it coast-to-coast and beat Nick Surzycia five-hole for a 1-0 lead. Both teams had their share of shots, where Sarnia had 13 to Peterborough’s 11 but the Petes stood alone on the scoreboard after one period.
Braydon McCallum took a high-sticking penalty three minutes into the second, putting Sarnia on their second power play of the night. The Sting made no mistake as Tyson Doucette made an excellent cross-crease pass to Zach Filak for a one-timer to tie the game at 1-1.
Both goaltenders stood on their heads the rest of the way, shutting out all shots in the third period and three-on-three overtime. The game was settled in a shootout.
