The first period was a low-scoring affair but saw the Lakers take a 3-1 lead with goals from Austin Hasen, Mike Robinson and Josh Currier for Peterborough. Tanner Cook scored the lone goal for Brooklin.
The second period was the complete opposite as the ball found the back of the net 12 times split between both teams. Brooklin was able to snare their first lead of the game, scoring five of the period’s first seven goals for a 6-5 lead. Peterborough got hot and went on a 4-1 run shortly afterwards for a 9-7 lead after two.
Peterborough kept their foot on the gas pedal scoring another six goals in the third period while limiting Brooklin to three. Currier and Holden Cattoni capped off their night in the final frame, each scoring a hat trick and two assists to earn five-point nights.
Landon Kells earned the win in net for Peterborough with 39 saves. The win was the Lakers’s largest offensive showing of the season.
“We’re getting more comfortable with each other,” said Mike Hasen, Lakers head coach. “We had a lot of opportunities. They played well but we also got a lot too with 68 shots on goal. It was a great offensive output. Tonight was a good night.”
The Lakers can rest until next Thursday when they host the first-place Six Nations Chiefs. The game will honour the 1973 Mann Cup-winning Lakers team.
