The 4-2 Friday win set up a first-round matchup against the North Bay Battalion, as Adam Levac scored an empty net goal late in the third period, putting the dagger in Kingston.

While Peterborough was only playing for Pride against the Generals, the Petes called up three players ahead of the game: Luka Gelinas, Luis Sturgeon and Brandt Rooyakkers.

Peterborough routed the Generals 7-3 after a five-goal flurry in the first period. Rooyakkers scored on his first shot to mark his first career OHL goal in his Petes debut.
