The home team wasted no time getting on the board as Brennan Faulkner was the recipient of a puck that squeezed out from a board battle and he one-timed it home for a 1-0 lead just 1:46 in. Peterborough kept attacking as Leon Kolarik tried to dump the puck but it went off a General and back on his stick. He fired it from the high slot and scored to make it 2-0 for the Petes at the end of the first period.

Peterborough forced a turnover in their defensive zone and had an outnumbered counterattack. Adam Novotný fed Matthew Soto and he scored to give the Petes a 3-0 lead. Nearly six-and-a-half minutes later, Oshawa found themselves back in the game as Lucas Moore and Onni Kalto scored to bring the Generals to within one after two periods.

The Petes first-overall pick in this year’s priority selection made himself heard as he won the faceoff draw. He stickhandled past several General defenders and scored on an impressive individual effort to give Peterborough a 4-2 lead.

The Petes cleared the puck into the Generals zone and immediately applied pressure. The forecheck worked with hustle from Faulkner who passed it Aiden Young for a goal from the slot to make it 5-2. Faulkner added an empty-netter for his third point of the night and the Petes handily defeat Oshawa 6-2 to continue their hot streak.

The Petes remain at home for their next game against the Sarnia Sting this thursday at the Peterborough Memorial Centre for 7:05 p.m.
